Propose a change

Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998

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

14 Issue of driver’s badges.

(1) The licensing authority shall issue a badge to each person to whom the authority has granted a London PHV driver’s licence. (2) The licensing authority may prescribe the form of badges issued under this section. (3) A person issued with such a badge shall, when he is the driver of a vehicle being used as a private hire vehicle— (a) wear the badge in such position and manner as to be plainly and distinctly visible, and (b) at the request of any person, produce the badge for inspection. (4) The licensing authority may by notice exempt a person from the requirement under subsection (3)(a) , when he is the driver of a vehicle being used to provide a service specified in the notice if the authority considers it inappropriate (having regard to that service) to require the badge to be worn. (5) Any person who without reasonable excuse contravenes subsection (3) is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.

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.

Think it through

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.
