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.
Change 1
19 Variation of operator’s licence by the licensing authority.
(1) The licensing authority may— (a) suspend the operation of a London PHV operator’s licence so far as relating to any operating centre specified in the licence; or (b) vary such a licence by removing a reference to an operating centre previously specified in the licence, if the authority is no longer satisfied that the operating centre in question meets any requirements prescribed under section 3(3)(b) or for any other reasonable cause. (2) Where the licensing authority has decided to suspend the operation of a licence as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or vary a licence as mentioned in subsection (1)(b)— (a) the authority shall give notice of the decision and the grounds for it to the licence holder; and (b) the decision shall take effect at the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the licence holder is served with that notice. (3) If the licensing authority is of the opinion that the interests of public safety require authority’s decision to have immediate effect, and the authority includes a statement of that opinion and the reasons for it in the notice, authority’s decision shall take effect when the notice is served on the licence holder. (4) If a licence is suspended in relation to an operating centre, the premises in question shall not be regarded for the purposes of this Act as premises at which the licence holder is authorised to accept private hire bookings, until such time as the licensing authority by notice states that the licence is no longer suspended in relation to those premises. (5) The holder of a London PHV operator’s licence may appeal to a magistrates’ court against a decision under subsection (1).

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.
