The Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023
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.

(2) The responsible person must give the certifier a notice acknowledging receipt of the fire safety information and confirming the information provided is sufficient to enable them to understand, operate and maintain the building (and the fire safety systems in it) after the building work in question and give a copy of that notice at the same time to the client. (3) The certifier must notify the client— (a) confirming that they have given fire safety information to the responsible person, and (b) stating that they have received a notice from the responsible person pursuant to paragraph (2) or where they have not received the notice, stating the steps taken to obtain the notice from the responsible person and the dates they were taken.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
