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.

SEVENTH SCHEDULE Survival of Causes of Action in Northern Ireland after Death
Section 47. 1 This Schedule applies to every cause of action in respect of loss or damage which, after the appointed day, is caused to persons or property on land or water by, or by a person in, or an article or person falling from, an aircraft while in flight, taking off or landing. 2 Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, on the death of any person, after the appointed day, all causes of action to which this Schedule applies subsisting against, or vested in, him shall survive against, or, as the case may be, for the benefit of, his estate. 3 Where a cause of action to which this Schedule applies survives as aforesaid for the benefit of the estate of a deceased person, and the death of that person has been caused by the circumstances which give rise to the cause of action, the damages recoverable for the benefit of his estate shall be calculated without reference to any loss or gain to his estate consequent on his death, except that a sum in respect of funeral expenses may be included. 4 No proceedings shall be maintainable in respect of a cause of action which, by virtue of this Schedule, has survived against the estate of a deceased person unless either— (a) proceedings against him in respect of that cause of action were pending at the date of his death, or (b) the cause of action arises not earlier than six months before his death and proceedings are taken in respect thereof not later than six months after his personal representative took out representation. 5 Where damage has been suffered by reason of any circumstances by reason of which a cause of action to which this Schedule applies would have subsisted against any person if that person had not died before or at the same time as the damage was suffered, there shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Schedule, to have been subsisting against him before his death such cause of action by reason of those circumstances as would have subsisted if he had died after the damage was suffered. 6 In the event of the insolvency of an estate against which proceedings are maintainable by virtue of this Schedule, any liability in respect of the cause of action in respect of which the proceedings are maintainable shall "be deemed to be a debt provable in the administration of the estate, notwithstanding that it is a demand in the nature of unliquidated damages arising otherwise than by a contract or promise.

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.
