Bus Services Act 2025
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
17 Variation of schemes
After section 138K of the Transport Act 2000 insert— Variation where scheme includes provision under section 138E 138KA (1) A variation of an enhanced partnership scheme may not be made under section 138K in a case to which subsection (2) of this section applies unless— (a) the Secretary of State has directed the authority or authorities concerned to make the variation, or (b) the variation is one that the authority or authorities are required to make by section 14(4)(b) of the Bus Services Act 2025. (2) This subsection applies to any case specified in the scheme as one in which the scheme may be varied in accordance with the scheme (see section 138E). (3) The Secretary of State may give a direction under this section only if, on an application made by the authority or authorities, the Secretary of State is satisfied that— (a) the variation cannot be made in accordance with the scheme because of unreasonable or obstructive behaviour by one or more operators of local services, or (b) persons using local services in the area to which the scheme as varied will relate will benefit from the variation of the scheme. (4) A direction under this section does not affect the application of the other requirements that must be met before the scheme can be varied under section 138K.

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.
