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

(1) A certificate of competency— (a) issued under the Merchant Shipping (Certification of Ships' Cooks) Regulations 1981 ; (b) treated as equivalent under regulation 8 of those Regulations; or (c) deemed under regulation 9 of those Regulations to be issued pursuant to section 43 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1970 , which is in force and not suspended on the date when these Regulations come into force, has effect as if it were a certificate of competency as a ship's cook issued under regulation 38 of these Regulations.

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.
