Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Act 2022
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.

(1) The “protected period”, in relation to a business tenancy adversely affected by coronavirus, is the period beginning with 21 March 2020 and ending with— (a) where the business tenancy comprises premises in England— (i) if subsection (2) identifies a day earlier than 18 July 2021, that day, or (ii) in any other case, 18 July 2021; (b) where the business tenancy comprises premises in Wales— (i) if subsection (2) identifies a day earlier than 7 August 2021, that day, or (ii) in any other case, 7 August 2021. (2) The relevant day for the purposes of subsection (1)(a)(i) or (b)(i) is the last day on which (or for part of which)— (a) the whole or part of the business carried on by the tenant at or from the premises, or (b) the whole or part of those premises, was of a description subject to either a closure requirement or a specific coronavirus restriction. (3) In subsection (2) “specific coronavirus restriction” means a restriction or requirement (other than a closure requirement) imposed by coronavirus regulations which regulated any aspect of— (a) the way a business, or a part of a business, of any specified description was to be carried on, or (b) the way any premises, or any part of premises, of a specified description were or was to be used. (4) But for the purposes of subsection (3)— (a) requirements to display or provide information on premises (or parts of premises), and (b) restrictions applying more generally than to specific descriptions of businesses or premises (or parts of businesses or premises), are not specific coronavirus restrictions. (5) In this section “closure requirement” and “coronavirus regulations” have the same meaning as in section 4.

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.
