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.

29 Crew accommodation requirements
(1) In this Part, “crew accommodation” means accommodation, including the construction, machinery, fittings and equipment of that accommodation, intended for or used by seafarers. (1A) In this regulation, “social connectivity” means connectivity to internet services for social communication and social engagement purposes. (2) Subject to regulations 30, 31 and 32, a ship must comply with the requirements relating to crew accommodation set out in Merchant Shipping Notice 1844 (M). (2A) Subject to paragraph (2B) and regulation 32 (approvals to allow substantial equivalences), social connectivity facilities must be provided in all areas of the crew accommodation of a ship except storerooms. (2B) The requirement in paragraph (2A) does not apply— (a) in relation to a seafarer— (i) who does not live and work on board the ship, or (ii) who is not on board the ship; (b) in relation to a ship— (i) which starts and finishes a voyage on the same day, or (ii) while it is operating within an area, or is transiting waters in an area, where availability of social connectivity services is absent, or ineffective, due to reasons beyond the control of the ship owner. (3) A breach of paragraph (2) or (2A) is an offence by the shipowner. (4) The master of the ship, or an officer appointed by the master for that purpose, must, at intervals not exceeding 7 days and accompanied by at least one member of the crew, inspect the crew accommodation to ensure it is clean, decently habitable and maintained in a good state of repair.

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.
