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.

116 Default powers of appropriate national authority.
(1) If the appropriate national authority is satisfied that a local authority or joint board have failed to discharge their functions under this Act in a case in which they ought to have discharged them, it may make an order declaring them to be in default and directing them for the purpose of removing the default to discharge such of their functions, in such manner and within such time or times, as may be specified in the order.
(2) If a local authority or joint board with respect to whom an order has been made under subsection (1) above fail to comply with a requirement of the order within the time limited by the order for compliance with that requirement, the appropriate national authority, in lieu of enforcing the order by mandamus or otherwise, may make a transfer order in respect of the body in default.
(3) The Secretary of State must consult the regulator before making an order under subsection (1) or (2).
(4) The Secretary of State may also make a transfer order in respect of a local authority if—
(a) under section 58Z7(2) the regulator recommends that the Secretary of State make a transfer order in respect of the authority, and
(b) the Secretary of State is satisfied that the way in which the authority exercises its functions under this Act—
(i) falls short of the standards expected, and
(ii) puts, or may put, the safety of persons in or about buildings at risk,
and is likely to continue to do so.
(5) The Welsh Ministers may also make a transfer order in respect of a local authority if the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that the way in which the authority exercises its functions under this Act—
(a) falls short of the standards expected, and
(b) puts, or may put, the safety of persons in or about buildings at risk,
and is likely to continue to do so.
(6) A “transfer order”, in respect of a local authority or joint board, is an order transferring to the appropriate national authority, or to another local authority, such functions of the authority or board as may be specified in the order.

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.
