Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

22 Authorised officers

(1) The regulator may authorise a person in relation to specified paragraphs of Schedule 2 (investigatory powers), for the purposes of any specified relevant building function. (2) A person may be authorised in relation to a paragraph of the Schedule only if they appear to the regulator to be suitably qualified to exercise any power conferred by virtue of that paragraph or do anything else mentioned in that paragraph. (3) An authorisation— (a) must be in writing; (b) may be varied or revoked by an instrument in writing. (4) When exercising or seeking to exercise a power conferred by virtue of Schedule 2, an authorised officer must if asked produce the authorisation (including any instrument varying it) or a duly authenticated copy. (5) In this section— “authorised officer” means a person in respect of whom an authorisation under this section is in force; “relevant building function” means any function of the regulator under, or under an instrument made under— Part 4 of this Act (higher-risk buildings), or the Building Act 1984; “specified” means specified in the authorisation.

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.
