Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 2009
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
14 Restriction on accumulation for charitable trusts
(1) This section applies to an instrument to the extent that it provides for property to be held on trust for charitable purposes. (2) But it does not apply where the provision is made by a court or the Charity Commission for England and Wales. (3) If the instrument imposes or confers on the trustees a duty or power to accumulate income, and apart from this section the duty or power would last beyond the end of the statutory period, it ceases to have effect at the end of that period unless subsection (5) applies. (4) The statutory period is a period of 21 years starting with the first day when the income must or may be accumulated (as the case may be). (5) This subsection applies if the instrument provides for the duty or power to cease to have effect— (a) on the death of the settlor, or (b) on the death of one of the settlors, determined by name or by the order of their deaths. (6) If a duty or power ceases to have effect under this section the income to which the duty or power would have applied apart from this section must— (a) go to the person who would have been entitled to it if there had been no duty or power to accumulate, or (b) be applied for the purposes for which it would have had to be applied if there had been no such duty or power. (7) This section applies whether or not the duty or power to accumulate extends to income produced by the investment of income previously accumulated.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
