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.

34 Determinations as to environmental matters.
(1) In making any determination of a description mentioned in subsection (2), a traffic commissioner shall have regard to such considerations as may be prescribed as relevant to determinations of that description. (2) The determinations referred to are— (a) any determination with respect to the suitability of any place on environmental grounds for use as an operating centre of the holder of a heavy goods vehicle licence; (b) any determination with respect to attaching to a heavy goods vehicle licence any condition such as is mentioned in section 23 or varying or removing any such condition attached to a heavy goods vehicle licence; and (c) any determination with respect to the effect on environmental conditions in any locality of the use in any particular manner of any operating centre of the holder of a heavy goods vehicle licence. (3) In making any such determination for the purposes of exercising— (a) any of his functions in relation to an application for, or for the variation of, a heavy goods vehicle licence, or (b) any of his functions under sections 30 to 32, a traffic commissioner may take into account any undertakings given by the applicant or licence-holder (or procured by him to be given) for the purposes of the application or the review under sections 30 to 32, and may assume that those undertakings will be fulfilled. (4) In making for those purposes a determination of a description mentioned in subsection (2)(a) or (c), a traffic commissioner may take into account any conditions such as are mentioned in section 23 that could be attached to the licence in question, and may assume that any conditions so attached will not be contravened. (5) Where a traffic commissioner— (a) grants an application for, or for the variation of, a heavy goods vehicle licence, or (b) after a notice has been served under section 30 in respect of any place specified in such a licence, exercises or determines not to exercise any of his powers under sections 31 and 32 in relation to that place, any undertakings taken into account by the commissioner under subsection (3) that he considers to be material to the application or (as the case may be) to his decision under sections 31 and 32 shall be recorded in the licence in question.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
