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.
Change 1
23 Prohibition on recovering costs from seafarer
(1) Subject to paragraph (2), a shipowner must not enter into an agreement with a seafarer under which the seafarer must make payment in respect of either— (a) repatriation costs; or (b) relief and maintenance costs. (2) A seafarer employment agreement may provide that the seafarer must reimburse repatriation costs where the agreement is terminated because of the seafarer's serious misconduct. (3) If a seafarer employment agreement contains provision described in paragraph (2) and that obligation arises, a deduction equivalent to those costs may be made from the wages due to the seafarer under that agreement. (4) If a seafarer employment agreement does not contain provision such as that described in paragraph (2), the shipowner may only recover the costs described in paragraph (1) (or damages in respect of such costs) where the agreement is terminated because of the seafarer's serious misconduct. (5) A breach of paragraph (1) is an offence by the shipowner. (6) An agreement is void to the extent it provides that a seafarer must make a payment to the shipowner in respect of either repatriation costs or relief and maintenance costs in breach of paragraph (1).

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.
