Child Trust Funds Act 2004
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.

(1) In the case of each child to whom this section applies, the Inland Revenue must apply to open for the child with an account provider selected in accordance with regulations a child trust fund of a description so selected. (2) The application is to be made in accordance with regulations. (3) The account provider must— (a) open, in accordance with regulations, a child trust fund of that description for the child, and (b) inform the Inland Revenue in accordance with regulations. (4) This section applies— (a) to a child in respect of whom a voucher is issued under section 5(1) but in whose case subsection (5) is satisfied, and (b) to a child who is first an eligible child by virtue of section 2(1)(b).

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.
