Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995
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
15 Issue of operators’ licences.
(1) Subject to subsection (2) and to sections 14(6), 21, 22, 23 and 45(2), on granting an application for an operator’s licence a traffic commissioner shall issue that licence in the terms applied for. (2) If a traffic commissioner has determined that any of the requirements of section 13C or 13D that he has taken into consideration in accordance with subsection (1) or (as the case may be) (2) of section 13 would not be satisfied unless he were to exercise any of his powers under subsection (3) below, he shall exercise those powers accordingly. (3) A traffic commissioner may issue the licence in terms that differ from the terms applied for in any of the following respects— (a) more or fewer motor vehicles are specified in the licence; (b) different motor vehicles are specified in it; (c) it includes a provision such as is mentioned in section 5(2); (d) it includes a provision such as is mentioned in section 6(1)(b) or (2)(b); (e) higher or lower maximum numbers are specified in it under section 6; (f) in the case of a heavy goods vehicle licence, fewer places are specified in it as operating centres of the licence-holder. (4) Any undertakings taken into account by the traffic commissioner under section 13C(7) that he considers to be material to the granting of the application shall be recorded in the licence issued. (5) A statement shall appear on the face of every operator’s licence indicating whether it is a standard licence or a restricted licence. (6) A statement shall appear on the face of every standard licence indicating whether it covers both national and international transport operations or national transport operations only.

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.
