Latent Damage Act 1986
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
4 Transitional provisions.
(1) Nothing in section 1 or 2 of this Act shall— (a) enable any action to brought which was barred by the 1980 Act or (as the case may be) by the Limitation Act 1939 before this Act comes into force; or (b) affect any action commenced before this Act comes into force. (2) Subject to subsection (1) above, sections 1 and 2 of this Act shall have effect in relation to causes of action accruing before, as well as in relation to causes of action accruing after, this Act comes into force. (3) Section 3 of this Act shall only apply in cases where an interest in damaged property is acquired after this Act comes into force but shall so apply, subject to subsection (4) below, irrespective of whether the original cause of action accrued before or after this Act comes into force. (4) Where— (a) a person acquires an interest in damaged property in circumstances to which section 3 would apart from this subsection apply; but (b) the original cause of action accrued more than six years before this Act comes into force; a cause of action shall not accrue to that person by virtue of subsection (1) of that section unless section 32(1)(b) of the 1980 Act (postponement of limitation period in case of deliberate concealment of relevant facts) would apply to any action founded on the original cause of action.

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.
