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
4B Special time limit for certain actions in respect of damage or defects in relation to buildings
(1) Where by virtue of a relevant provision a person becomes entitled to bring an action against any other person, no action may be brought after the expiration of 15 years from the date on which the right of action accrued. (2) An action referred to in subsection (1) is one to which— (a) sections 1, 28, 32, 35, 37 and 38 apply; (b) the other provisions of this Act do not apply. (3) In this section “relevant provision” means— (a) section 1 or 2A of the Defective Premises Act 1972; (b) section 38 of the Building Act 1984. (4) Where by virtue of section 1 of the Defective Premises Act 1972 a person became entitled, before the commencement date, to bring an action against any other person, this section applies in relation to the action as if the reference in subsection (1) to 15 years were a reference to 30 years. (5) In subsection (4) “the commencement date” means the day on which section 135 of the Building Safety Act 2022 came into force.

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.
