The Public Service Obligations in Transport Regulations 2023
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
14 Award of contracts under competitive procedure
(1) A competent authority must award a public service contract on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure unless— (a) an alternative procedure is available under these Regulations, or (b) it is relying on the internal operator exemption referred to in regulation 13(1) (internal operator exemption). (2) The procedure adopted for competitive tendering must be open to all suppliers, fair and transparent and accord with the applicable principles set out in regulation 4 (objectives). (3) In order to increase competition between railway suppliers, a competent authority may decide that contracts for public passenger transport services by rail relating to parts of the same network or package of routes are to be awarded to different railway suppliers and, if it does, it may decide to limit the number of contracts to be awarded to each railway supplier. (4) A competent authority must, while ensuring the protection of commercially sensitive information, make relevant information available to all interested parties to enable them to prepare an offer under a competitive tendering procedure and to draft a well-informed business plan. (5) Relevant information under paragraph (4) includes— (a) information on passenger demand, fares, costs and revenues related to the public passenger transport services covered by the competitive tendering procedure, and (b) details of the infrastructure specifications relevant for the operation of the required vehicles or rolling stock.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
