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
53L Abandonment
(1) A seafarer is “abandoned” in relation to a ship if the shipowner— (a) fails to make the provision required under regulation 19 (duty to repatriate seafarers); (b) having regard to the seafarer’s personal circumstances and requirements, leaves the seafarer without necessary maintenance and support, including leaving the seafarer without— (i) adequate food; (ii) drinking water supplies; (iii) accommodation; (iv) essential fuel for survival on board the ship; or (v) necessary medical care; or (c) otherwise unilaterally severs ties with the seafarer, including failing to pay any amount in respect of wages payable to the seafarer under the seafarer’s seafarer employment agreement for a period of at least two months. (2) An abandoned seafarer ceases to be abandoned in relation to a ship if, after the end of the relevant period, the seafarer continues, resumes or takes up new employment on board the ship or is engaged on board the ship. (3) The “relevant period” begins with the day on which the seafarer is abandoned and ends with the earliest of the following events— (a) the seafarer’s arrival in or at— (i) the seafarer’s country of residence; (ii) the destination provided in the seafarer’s seafarer employment agreement as being that to which the seafarer should be returned in the event that the seafarer is repatriated; or (iii) such place as the seafarer has agreed in advance with— (aa) the abandonment security provider; or (bb) any person who has made provision for the seafarer’s repatriation; (b) the seafarer refusing unreasonably to be repatriated, or to co-operate with arrangements made for the seafarer’s repatriation; (c) the expiry of a period of 3 months during which the abandonment security provider has used reasonable endeavours to contact the seafarer but has been unable to make such contact; (d) the abandonment security provider receives written confirmation from the seafarer that financial assistance is no longer required; (e) the death of the seafarer.

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.
