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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

20 Fees for grant of licences, etc.

(1) The licensing authority may by regulations provide for prescribed fees to be payable— (a) by an applicant for a licence under this Act, or for the variation of a London operator’s licence under section 18, on making the application; (b) by a person granted a licence or variation, on the grant or variation of the licence and (if the regulations so provide) at such times while the licence is in force as may be prescribed. (2) Regulations under this section may provide for fees to be payable by instalments, or for fees to be remitted or refunded (in whole or part), in prescribed cases. (3) The licensing authority may decline to proceed with— (a) an application for, or for the variation of, a licence; or (b) the grant or variation of a licence, until any prescribed fee (or instalment) due in respect of the application or grant is paid.

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.
