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.
Change 1
7 Compliance or non-compliance with approved documents.
(1) A failure on the part of a person to comply with an approved document does not of itself render him liable to any civil or criminal proceedings; but if, in any proceedings whether civil or criminal, it is alleged that a person has at any time contravened a provision of building regulations— (a) a failure to comply with a relevant approved document may be relied upon as tending to establish liability, and (b) proof of compliance with such a document may be relied on as tending to negative liability. (1A) In subsection (1) “relevant approved document” means a document approved for the purposes of the provision that applies in relation to the work in question. (2) In any proceedings, whether civil or criminal— (a) a document purporting to be a notice issued as mentioned in section 6(3) above shall be taken to be such a notice unless the contrary is proved, and (b) a document that appears to the court or tribunal to be the approved document to which such a notice refers shall be taken to be that approved document unless the contrary is proved.

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.
