Housing Act 2004
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

(1) This section applies where a local housing authority— (a) are satisfied that a prescribed fire hazard exists in an HMO or in any common parts of a building containing one or more flats, and (b) intend to take in relation to the hazard one of the kinds of enforcement action mentioned in section 5(2) or section 7(2). (2) Before taking the enforcement action in question, the authority must consult the fire and rescue authority for the area in which the HMO or building is situated. (3) In the case of any proposed emergency measures, the authority’s duty under subsection (2) is a duty to consult that fire and rescue authority so far as it is practicable to do so before taking those measures. (4) In this section— “emergency measures” means emergency remedial action under section 40 or an emergency prohibition order under section 43; “fire and rescue authority” means a fire and rescue authority under the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 (c. 21); “prescribed fire hazard” means a category 1 or 2 hazard which is prescribed as a fire hazard for the purposes of this section by regulations under section 2.

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.
