Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

36 Review of decisions.

(1) Subject to subsection (2), a traffic commissioner may review and, if he thinks fit, vary or revoke any decision of his , or of another traffic commissioner, to grant or refuse— (a) an application for an operator’s licence, or (b) an application for the variation of such a licence in a case where section 17(3) required notice of the application to be published, if he is satisfied that a procedural requirement imposed by or under any enactment has not been complied with in relation to the decision. (2) A traffic commissioner may under subsection (1) review a decision only— (a) if, within such period after the taking of the decision as may be prescribed, he or another traffic commissioner has given to the applicant or (as the case may be) the licence-holder notice of intention to review the decision; (b) if, within that period, a person who appears to him to have an interest in the decision has requested that the decision be reviewed by a traffic commissioner ; or (c) (where neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) applies), if he considers there to be exceptional circumstances that justify the review. (3) Regulations may make provision as to the manner in which notices under subsection (2)(a) are to be or may be served, including provision as to the circumstances in which, and the time at which, any such notice is to be treated as having been duly served (whether or not it has in fact been served). (4) The variation or revocation under this section of any decision shall not make unlawful anything done in reliance on the decision before the variation or revocation takes effect.

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.
