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
As published
162 Requirement for hearing
(1) In determining an application for a premises licence a licensing authority must hold a hearing if—
(a) an interested party or responsible authority has made (and not withdrawn) representations about the application under section 161,
(b) the authority propose to attach a condition to the licence under section 169(1)(a), or
(c) the authority propose to exclude under section 169(1)(b) a condition that would otherwise be attached to the licence under section 168.
(2) But a licensing authority may determine an application for a premises licence without a hearing despite subsection (1) with the consent of—
(a) the applicant, and
(b) any interested party or responsible authority who has made (and not withdrawn) representations about the application under section 161.
(3) A licensing authority may also determine an application for a premises licence without a hearing despite subsection (1)(a) if the authority think that the representations made under section 161—
(a) are vexatious,
(b) are frivolous, or
(c) will certainly not influence the authority's determination of the application.
(4) If a licensing authority propose to determine an application in reliance on subsection (3) they shall as soon as is reasonably practicable notify any person who made representations under section 161.

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.
