Propose a change

Building Act 1984

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.

What to do with it
As published

58V Interim suspension for suspected serious contravention

(1) This section applies where the regulatory authority considers that— (a) a person who is a registered building control approver may have contravened the professional conduct rules, and (b) the suspected contravention is so serious that, if the authority determines that the contravention has occurred, it is likely to make an order under section 58U(2)(d) cancelling the person’s registration. (2) The regulatory authority may by order suspend the person’s registration for a period specified in the order (which must not exceed 3 months). (3) The regulatory authority may revoke the order before the end of that period. (4) Where the regulatory authority makes (or revokes) an order under this section it must as soon as reasonably practicable— (a) give a copy of the order (or notice of the revocation) to the person concerned, and (b) in prescribed cases, give a copy of the order (or notice of the revocation)— (i) to each local authority in England, where the regulatory authority is the regulator, or (ii) to each local authority in Wales, where the regulatory authority is the Welsh Ministers. (5) The person may appeal to the appropriate court or tribunal against an order under this section. (6) A person whose registration is suspended by an order under this section is a registered building control approver for the purposes of this Part.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
