Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014
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
As published
121 Instruments of dissolution: notification to FCA etc
(1) This section applies in relation to an instrument of dissolution within section 119(1).
(2) The instrument must be sent to the FCA (and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA), accompanied by a statutory declaration that all relevant provisions of this Act have been complied with.
(3) The statutory declaration must be made by the society's secretary and—
(a) 3 members, or
(b) both members (if the society consists solely of 2 registered societies).
(4) A copy of any special resolution under section 119—
(a) signed by the chair of the second meeting, and
(b) countersigned by the society's secretary,
must be sent to the FCA (and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA) within the period of 14 days beginning with the day of the second meeting.
(5) The FCA must register the instrument of dissolution (and any alterations to it) in the same way as an amendment of the society's rules.
But it must not register it until it has received the society's annual return for its last year of account (see section 77(8) or 78(7)).
(6) The FCA must register a copy special resolution received under subsection (4) at the same time as it registers the instrument of dissolution (and any alterations to it).
(7) The instrument of dissolution (and any alterations to it) are binding on the society's members.
(8) In this section “the second meeting” has the same meaning as in section 120.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
