Building Safety Act 2022
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
121 Associated persons
(1) For the purposes of sections 122 to 124 and Schedule 8, a partnership or body corporate is associated with another person in the circumstances mentioned in subsections (2) to (5). (2) Where a person’s interest in a relevant building was held on trust at the qualifying time, any partnership or body corporate which was a beneficiary of the trust at that time is to be regarded, for the purposes of the provisions mentioned in subsection (1) as they apply in relation to the relevant building, as associated with the person. (3) A partnership is associated with any person who was a partner in the partnership, other than a limited partner, at any time in the period of 5 years ending at the qualifying time (“the relevant period”). (4) A body corporate is associated with any person who was a director of the body corporate at any time in the relevant period. (5) A body corporate is associated with another body corporate if— (a) at any time in the relevant period a person was a director of both of them, or (b) at the qualifying time, one of them controlled the other or a third body corporate controlled both of them. Subsections (6) to (8) set out the cases in which a body corporate is regarded as controlling another body corporate. (6) A body corporate (X) controls a company (Y) if X possesses or is entitled to acquire— (a) at least half of the issued share capital of Y, (b) such rights as would entitle X to exercise at least half of the votes exercisable in general meetings of Y, (c) such part of the issued share capital of Y as would entitle X to at least half of the amount distributed, if the whole of the income of Y were in fact distributed among the shareholders, or (d) such rights as would, in the event of the winding up of Y or in any other circumstances, entitle it to receive at least half of the assets of Y which would then be available for distribution among the shareholders. (7) A body corporate (X) controls a limited liability partnership (Y) if X— (a) holds a majority of the voting rights in Y, (b) is a member of Y and has a right to appoint or remove a majority of other members, or (c) is a member of Y and controls alone, or pursuant to an agreement with other members, a majority of the voting rights in Y. (8) A body corporate (X) controls another body corporate (Y) if X has the power, directly or indirectly, to secure that the affairs of Y are conducted in accordance with X’s wishes. (9) In subsection (7) a reference to “voting rights” is to the rights conferred on members in respect of their interest in a limited liability partnership to vote on those matters which are to be decided on by a vote of the members of the limited liability partnership. (10) In determining whether one body corporate (X) controls another, X is treated as possessing— (a) any rights and powers possessed by a person as nominee for it, and (b) any rights and powers possessed by a body corporate which it controls (including rights and powers which such a body corporate would be taken to possess by virtue of this paragraph). (11) In this section “partnership” means— (a) a partnership within the meaning of the Partnership Act 1890, or (b) a limited partnership registered under the Limited Partnerships Act 1907, or a firm or entity of a similar character formed under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom (and the reference to “limited partner” is to be read accordingly). (12) The Secretary of State may by regulations provide that, in relation to a prescribed reference in a provision mentioned in subsection (1) to anyone associated with another person, subsections (2) to (5) have effect with prescribed modifications.

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.
