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

(a) a local authority,
(b) a county council, or
(c) any other body that acts under an enactment for public purposes and not for its own profit and is prescribed for the purposes of this section,
from compliance with any requirements of those regulations that are not substantive requirements.
(2) A local authority, county council or other body that is exempted as mentioned in subsection (1) above is in subsection (3) below referred to as an “exempt body”.
(3) Without prejudice to the obligation of an exempt body to comply with substantive requirements of building regulations, the function of enforcing building regulations that is conferred on local authorities by section 91(2) below is not exercisable in relation to work carried out by an exempt body, and accordingly—
(a) nothing in section 36(1) to (5) below applies in relation to work so carried out, and

(3A) In relation to higher-risk building work in England—

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.
