63 Recommendations about regulations under section 62

(1) The regulator may recommend that the Secretary of State makes regulations under section 62. (2) The regulator may make a recommendation to prescribe a matter under section 62(1)(c) for any higher-risk building only if it considers that if the matter occurred as regards a higher-risk building it would have the potential to cause a major incident. (3) The regulator may make a recommendation to prescribe a matter under section 62(1)(c) for a description of higher-risk building only if it considers that if the matter occurred as regards a higher-risk building of that description it would have the potential to cause a major incident. (4) The regulator may make a recommendation to prescribe a matter under section 62(1)(c) for a description of building that is not a higher-risk building only if— (a) it considers that— (i) if the matter occurred as regards a building of that description it would have the potential to cause a major incident, (ii) the risk of the matter occurring is greater for that description of buildings than it is for buildings that are not of that description, and (iii) this Part should apply (with or without modifications) in relation to buildings of that description, and (b) it also recommends that buildings of that description should be higher-risk buildings for the purposes of this Part (and, if section 69(2)(b) applies, makes a recommendation of the kind mentioned there). (5) The regulator may make a recommendation to make regulations that would result in a matter ceasing to be prescribed under section 62(1)(c) only if— (a) where the matter is prescribed for any higher-risk building, it considers that if the matter occurred as regards a higher-risk building it would not have the potential to cause a major incident; (b) where the matter is prescribed for a description of higher-risk building, it considers that if the matter occurred as regards a higher-risk building of that description it would not have the potential to cause a major incident. (6) When making a recommendation, the regulator must give the Secretary of State a statement of its assessment of the issues it considered when deciding to make the recommendation. (7) If following a recommendation the Secretary of State decides not to make the regulations, the Secretary of State must publish a document setting out— (a) the regulator’s recommendation, (b) the Secretary of State’s decision not to make the regulations, and (c) the reasons for that decision. (8) In this Part “major incident” means an incident resulting in— (a) a significant number of deaths, or (b) serious injury to a significant number of people.

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.
