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
35 Power of traffic commissioners to hold inquiries.
(1) A traffic commissioner may hold such inquiries as he thinks necessary for the proper exercise of his functions under this Act or the 2009 Regulation. (2) Where, as respects the proposed exercise on any occasion of any of his powers under this Act or the 2009 Regulation, a traffic commissioner receives a request for an inquiry (made pursuant to section 29(1) or paragraph 15(1)(d) or 17(4)(c) of Schedule 3) from two or more persons, he or another traffic commissioner may hold a single inquiry in response to both or all of those requests. (3) Subject to any provision made by regulations, any inquiry held by a traffic commissioner for the purposes of this Act or the 2009 Regulation shall be held in public. (4) Information with respect to any particular trade or business which is given at any such inquiry while admission to the inquiry is restricted in accordance with regulations shall not, so long as that trade or business continues to be carried on, be disclosed except— (a) with the consent of the person for the time being carrying on that trade or business; (b) for the purpose of the discharge by any person of his functions under this Act or the 2009 Regulation; or (c) with a view to the institution of, or otherwise for the purposes of, any legal proceedings pursuant to or arising out of this Act or the 2009 Regulation, including proceedings before the Upper Tribunal. (5) Any person who discloses any information in contravention of subsection (4) is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.

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.
