Adoption and Children Act 2002
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
70 Dispositions depending on date of birth
(1) Where a disposition depends on the date of birth of a person who was born illegitimate and who is adopted by one of the natural parents as sole adoptive parent, section 69(2) does not affect entitlement by virtue of Part 3 of the Family Law Reform Act 1987 (c. 42) (dispositions of property). (2) Subsection (1) applies for example where— (a) a testator dies in 2001 bequeathing a legacy to his eldest grandchild living at a specified time, (b) his unmarried daughter has a child in 2002 who is the first grandchild, (c) his married son has a child in 2003, (d) subsequently his unmarried daughter adopts her child as sole adoptive parent. In that example the status of the daughter’s child as the eldest grandchild of the testator is not affected by the events described in paragraphs (c) and (d).

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.
