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
52 Shipowners' liability in respect of burial or cremation of seafarer
(1) Subject to paragraph (2), if a seafarer dies while— (a) on board a ship on which the seafarer works; or (b) on shore leave in a country other than the seafarer's country of residence, the shipowner must meet any expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the seafarer's burial or cremation. (2) The duty in paragraph (1) does not apply to expenses which are met by a public authority. (3) Where the seafarer's personal representatives incur costs in meeting expenses which should be met by the shipowner under paragraph (1), whether by incurring such costs directly or by reimbursing another person who has incurred those costs, those representatives may recover those costs from the shipowner as a civil debt.

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.
