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
58Z7 Continuing failure to meet standards: local authorities in England
(1) This section applies where—
(a) the regulatory authority is the regulator,
(b) the regulatory authority has given a local authority one or more serious contravention notices under section 58Z5, and
(c) it appears to the regulatory authority that the way in which the local authority exercises their building control functions—
(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.
(2) The regulatory authority may recommend to the Secretary of State that the Secretary of State make an order under section 116(4) (transfer of functions to the Secretary of State or another local authority).
(3) But before making a recommendation under subsection (2) the regulatory authority must—
(a) give the local authority notice that it is considering making a recommendation under that subsection, and explain its reasons, and
(b) invite the authority to make representations within a period specified in the notice (which must not be less than 14 days).
(4) Where the regulatory authority makes a recommendation under subsection (2) it must as soon as reasonably practicable—
(a) notify the local authority that it has done so, and
(b) give the local authority a statement of its reasons.
(5) A local authority may appeal to the tribunal against a recommendation under subsection (2).

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.

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.
