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
189 Transfer: supplemental
(1) If an application for transfer under section 188 states that the applicant has failed to contact the licensee having taken all reasonable steps to do so, the licensing authority shall—
(a) disapply section 188(3)(b) and take all reasonable steps to notify the licensee, or
(b) determine not to disapply section 188(3)(b) and notify the applicant of their determination and the reasons for it.
(2) An application for transfer must (in addition to anything required by section 159) be accompanied by—
(a) the licence, or
(b) both—
(i) a statement explaining why it is not reasonably practicable to produce the licence, and
(ii) an application by the licensee under section 190 for the issue of a copy of the licence.
(3) In relation to an application for transfer to which subsection (1) applies, for the purposes of any application under section 190 required in accordance with subsection (2)(b)(ii) above—
(a) the application under that section shall be made by the applicant for transfer, and
(b) a reference to the licence being lost, stolen or damaged shall be treated as a reference to the licence being unavailable to the applicant for transfer.

(5) Section 161 shall have effect in relation to an application for transfer with the omission of the reference to interested parties.

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.
