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.

As published
49A Review of decisions.
(1) Subject to subsection (2) below, a traffic commissioner may review and, if he thinks fit, vary or revoke any decision of his, or of another traffic commissioner—
(a) to grant or refuse an application for a PSV operator’s licence; or
(b) to grant or refuse an application for the variation of a PSV operator’s licence,
if he is satisfied that a procedural requirement imposed by or under this Act has not been complied with in relation to the decision.
(2) A traffic commissioner may only review a decision under subsection (1) above—
(a) if, within such period after the taking of the decision as may be prescribed, he or another traffic commissioner has given to the applicant or (as the case may be) the licence-holder notice of intention to review the decision;
(b) if, within that period, a person who appears to him to have an interest in the decision has requested that the decision be reviewed by a traffic commissioner; or
(c) where neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) above applies, if he considers there to be exceptional circumstances that justify the review.
(3) Regulations may make provision as to the manner in which notices under subsection (2)(a) above are to be or may be served, including provision as to the circumstances in which and time at which any such notice is to be treated as having been duly served (whether or not it has in fact been served).
(4) The variation or revocation of a decision under this section shall not make unlawful anything done in reliance on the decision before the variation or revocation takes effect.

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.
