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
8 Applications for operators’ licences.
(1) A person who requires an operator’s licence must apply to a traffic commissioner. (1A) A separate application must be made in relation to each traffic area in which there is— (a) if the application is for a heavy goods vehicle licence, a place to be specified in the licence as an operating centre for the purposes of sections 7(1) and 13C(5); or (b) if the application is for a light goods vehicle licence, located premises of the kind described in paragraph A1(2)(a) of Schedule 3. (2) Accordingly, a person may hold separate operators’ licences in respect of different areas; but he shall not at any time hold more than one such licence in respect of the same area. (3) A person applying for an operator’s licence shall give to the traffic commissioner a statement— (a) containing such particulars as the commissioner may require of the motor vehicles proposed to be used under the licence and stating the number and type of any trailers proposed to be used under the licence; and (b) in the case of an application for a heavy goods vehicle licence, containing such particulars as the commissioner may require of each place in the traffic area concerned which will be an operating centre of the applicant if the licence is issued. (4) A person applying for an operator’s licence shall also give to the traffic commissioner any further information which the commissioner may reasonably require for the discharge of his duties in relation to the application, and in particular shall, if required by the commissioner to do so, give to him any of the information specified in paragraph 1 of Schedule 2. (5) Without prejudice to subsection (4), a person applying for an operator’s licence shall also, if required by the traffic commissioner to do so, give to him such particulars as he may require with respect to the use which the applicant proposes to make, for vehicles used under the licence, of any place referred to in the statement under subsection (3)(b). (6) Any statement, information or particulars to be given to the traffic commissioner under this section shall be given in such form as the commissioner may require. (7) In subsections (3) to (6), “the traffic commissioner” means the traffic commissioner dealing with the application 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.
