Limitation Act 1980
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
10B Special time limit for actions relating to construction products
(1) An action under section 148 of the Building Safety Act 2022 shall not be brought after the expiration of 15 years from the date on which the right of action accrued. (2) An action under section 149 of the Building Safety Act 2022 shall not be brought after— (a) if the right of action accrued before the commencement date, the expiration of the period of 30 years from the date on which it accrued, and (b) if the right of action accrued on or after the commencement date, the expiration of the period of 15 years beginning with the date on which it accrued. (3) In a case where— (a) a right of action under section 149 of the Building Safety Act 2022 accrued before the commencement date, and (b) the expiration of the period of 30 years beginning with the date on which the right of action accrued falls in the year beginning with the commencement date, subsection (2)(a) has effect as if it referred to the expiration of that year. (4) In subsections (2) and (3) “the commencement date” is the day on which section 149 of the Building Safety Act 2022 came into force. (5) No other period of limitation prescribed by Part 1 of this Act applies in relation to an action referred to in subsections (1) and (2). (6) Sections 28, 32 and 35 of this Act apply in relation to an action referred to subsections (1) and (2), but otherwise Parts 2 and 3 of this Act (except sections 37 and 38) do not apply for the purposes of this section.

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.
