Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Act 2022
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
20 Oral hearings
(1) An oral hearing must be held where either or both of the parties make a request to the arbitrator. (2) An oral hearing must be held within the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the arbitrator receives a request under subsection (1). (3) The period in subsection (2) may be extended— (a) by agreement between the parties, or (b) by the arbitrator where the arbitrator considers that it would be reasonable in all the circumstances to do so. (4) Where both parties request an oral hearing, the parties are jointly and severally liable to pay the hearing fees in advance. (5) Where one of the parties requests an oral hearing, that party must pay the hearing fees in advance. (6) When the arbitrator makes an award under section 13 or 14, the arbitrator must (subject to subsection (7)) also make an award requiring the other party to reimburse the applicant for half the hearing fees. (7) The general rule in subsection (6) does not apply if the arbitrator considers it more appropriate in all the circumstances to award a different proportion (which may be zero). (8) An oral hearing must be held in public unless the parties agree otherwise.

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.
