Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996
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
44 Grant conditions: introductory.
(1) Sections 51 and 52 have effect with respect to the conditions to be observed where an application for a grant has been approved by a local housing authority.

(3) In this Chapter—
(a) the “grant condition period” means the period of five years, or such other period as the Secretary of State may by order specify or as may be imposed by the local housing authority with the consent of the Secretary of State, beginning with the certified date; and
(b) the “certified date” means the date certified by the local housing authority as the date on which the execution of the eligible works is completed to their satisfaction.
(4) A local housing authority may not impose any condition requiring a grant to be repaid except in accordance with sections 51 and 52.
This applies whether the condition purports to operate as a condition of the grant, as a personal covenant or otherwise.

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.
