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
69 Recommendations about definition of “higher-risk building” etc
(1) Subsection (2) applies if, in respect of any description of building that is not a higher-risk building, the regulator considers—
(a) that a building safety risk is greater for that description of buildings than it is for buildings that are not of that description,
(b) that if the risk materialised as regards a building of that description it would have the potential to cause a major incident, and
(c) that this Part should apply (with or without modifications) in relation to buildings of that description.
(2) The regulator must—
(a) recommend to the Secretary of State that buildings of that description should be higher-risk buildings for the purposes of this Part,
(b) if it considers that regulations under section 68 should be made modifying this Part as it applies in relation to that description of building, make a recommendation to the Secretary of State to that effect, and
(c) give the Secretary of State a statement of its assessment of the issues it considered when deciding to make the recommendation under paragraph (a) and any recommendation under paragraph (b).
(3) Subsection (4) applies if—
(a) following a recommendation under subsection (2)(a) the Secretary of State decides not to make regulations under section 65 giving effect to the recommendation, or
(b) following a recommendation under subsection (2)(b) the Secretary of State decides not to make regulations under section 68 giving effect to the recommendation.
(4) 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.
(5) If the regulator considers that this Part should not apply in relation to a particular description of higher-risk building, it must recommend to the Secretary of State that buildings of that description should cease to be higher-risk buildings for the purposes of this Part.
(6) For the meaning of “major incident” see section 63.

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.
Sign in to file your proposal. What you have written stays on this page.
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.
