Propose a change

The Merchant Shipping (Maritime Labour Convention) (Minimum Requirements for Seafarers etc.) Regulations 2014

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

11A Seafarer employment agreements: captive seafarers

(1) Paragraph (2) applies to a seafarer’s seafarer employment agreement which would, but for the operation of that paragraph, terminate while the seafarer is held captive as a result of piracy or armed robbery against a ship. (2) Where this paragraph applies, the seafarer employment agreement continues to have effect until the date on which the shipowner’s duty under regulation 19 to repatriate the seafarer ends in accordance with regulation 21. (3) The reference in paragraph (1) to the termination of a seafarer employment agreement includes— (a) the operation of any provision of the seafarer employment agreement which would, but for this regulation, cause the seafarer employment agreement to cease to have effect; and (b) the expiry of notice to terminate the seafarer employment agreement given for any reason, regardless of when such notice was given. (4) For any period during which a seafarer is held captive as a result of piracy or armed robbery against a ship— (a) the seafarer’s wages, remuneration and other entitlements, whether arising under the seafarer’s seafarer employment agreement, a collective bargaining agreement or any enactment, must continue to be paid; (b) any part of the seafarer’s wages allotted to a person by an allotment note issued in accordance with regulations under section 36 of the Act must continue to be paid to that person; and (c) a term of any agreement is void to the extent that it purports to reduce, vary or stop any such payments.

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.

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.
