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.

(3) If the registered building control approver determines that the unfinished work does not contravene any provision of building regulations, the approver must give a transfer certificate and a transfer report to the local authority before the end of the relevant period.
(4) If the registered building control approver is unable to make the determination referred to in subsection (3), the approver must—
(a) give the person carrying out or intending to carry out the work a notice setting out why they were unable to make the determination, and
(b) give a copy of that notice to the local authority.

(a) confirm that the registered building control approver has determined that the unfinished work up to the date of the certificate does not contravene any provision of building regulations, and

(b) such longer period as may be agreed by the local authority following a request from the registered building control approver.
(8) A transfer certificate given by a registered building control approver—
(a) does not impose any liability, whether civil or criminal, on the registered building control approver for any work carried out by the previous registered building control approver, and
(b) does not affect any liability, whether civil or criminal, of the previous registered building control approver for work carried out by that approver.

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.
