The Bathing Water (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 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
7 Amendment to regulation 13 (additional management measures at “poor” bathing waters)
In regulation 13— (a) after paragraph (1), insert— (1A) Where the appropriate agency classifies a bathing water as “poor” under regulation 11 for five consecutive years, the appropriate agency must, having consulted the local authority that controls the bathing water, advise the appropriate Minister on whether it would be feasible and not disproportionately expensive for the bathing water to achieve a classification of at least “sufficient” within a specified period. (1B) In this regulation the “specified period”, in relation to a bathing water, is the period of time which the appropriate agency advises the appropriate Minister to allow a bathing water to achieve a classification of at least “sufficient” under regulation 11. (1C) The period advised by the appropriate agency under paragraph (1B) must not exceed a period of five years beginning with the date on which the most recent classification under regulation 11 is published. ; (b) for paragraph (2)(a), substitute— (a) the appropriate agency classifies the bathing water as “poor” under regulation 11 for five consecutive years and advises the appropriate Minister under paragraph (1A) that it would be— (i) infeasible or disproportionately expensive for the bathing water to achieve a classification of at least “sufficient” within a period of five years beginning with the date on which the most recent classification under regulation 11 is published, and the appropriate Minister accepts that advice; or (ii) feasible and not disproportionately expensive for the bathing water to achieve a classification of at least “sufficient” within the specified period— (aa) but the appropriate Minister rejects that advice; or (bb) the appropriate Minister accepts that advice, but the bathing water does not achieve a classification of at least “sufficient” before the end of the specified period; or ; (c) in paragraph (2)(b), at the beginning, insert “the appropriate agency has not classified the bathing water as “poor” under regulation 11 for five consecutive years but,”; (d) in paragraph (4), in the words before sub-paragraph (a), omit “during the bathing season”.

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.
