Propose a change

Licensing Act 2003

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

50 Reinstatement of licence on transfer following death etc. of holder

(1) This section applies where— (a) a premises licence lapses by virtue of section 27 (death, incapacity or insolvency etc. of the holder), but no interim authority notice has effect, or (b) a premises licence lapses by virtue of section 28 (surrender). (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(a) an interim authority notice ceases to have effect when it is cancelled under section 48 or withdrawn. (3) Notwithstanding the lapsing of the licence, a person mentioned in section 16(1) (and who would, where applicable, satisfy subsections (2) and (2A) of section 42) may apply under section 42 for the transfer of the licence to him provided that the application— (a) is made no later than 28 days after the day the licence lapsed, and (b) is one to which section 43(1)(a) applies. (4) Where an application is made in accordance with subsection (3), section 43(1)(b) must be disregarded. (5) Where such an application is made, the premises licence is reinstated from the time the application is received by the relevant licensing authority. (6) But the licence lapses again if, and when— (a) the applicant is notified of the rejection of the application, or (b) the application is withdrawn. (7) Only one application for transfer of the premises licence may be made in reliance on this section.

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.
