81 Building assessment certificates
(1) This section applies where—
(a) the principal accountable person for an occupied higher-risk building applies under section 79 for a certificate in relation to the building (a “building assessment certificate”),
(b) the application is made pursuant to a direction of the regulator under that section, and
(c) the building is registered under section 78.
(2) The regulator must assess whether the relevant duties are being complied with (and may inspect the building in connection with that assessment).
(3) The regulator—
(a) must give a building assessment certificate if satisfied that all relevant duties are being complied with;
(b) if not so satisfied, must (subject to subsection (4)) refuse the application and notify the principal accountable person of the refusal.
(4) If the regulator considers that a contravention of a relevant duty can be remedied promptly—
(a) the regulator may give a notice under this subsection to the principal accountable person containing a brief description of the contravention and specifying a period for remedying the contravention, and
(b) if it does so, and the contravention is remedied within that period, it may give a building assessment certificate (instead of refusing the application).
(5) In this section “relevant duty” means a duty of an accountable person for the building under, or under prescribed regulations made under, any of the following—

(a) the period in relation to which a certificate may be given;
(b) the form and content of a certificate or notice;
(c) the way in which a certificate or notice is to be given.

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.
