The Marine Licensing (Exempted Activities and Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
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
11 Insertion of article 25ZA (replacement of existing swinging mooring with advanced mooring system)
After article 25 insert— Replacement of existing swinging mooring with advanced mooring system 25ZA (1) Article 4 applies to a deposit, removal activity or works activity carried on for the purpose of replacing a swinging mooring with an advanced mooring system. (2) Paragraph (1) is subject to the conditions that— (a) the anchor for the advanced mooring system is either a helical screw or, where the existing anchor cannot be removed, that existing anchor; (b) the anchor for the advanced mooring system is deposited within the existing boundary of the existing anchor; (c) notice of the intention to carry on the activity must be given to the licensing authority before the activity is carried on; (d) no damage is caused during the activity to any habitat or species which is a protected feature of a European site, a Ramsar site or an MCZ. (3) Article 4 does not apply to an activity described in paragraph (1) that— (a) falls within paragraph (4); and (b) is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the area referred to in that paragraph. (4) An activity falls within this paragraph if it is capable of affecting (other than insignificantly)— (a) the protected feature of a highly protected marine area; or (b) any ecological or geomorphological process on which the conservation of the protected feature of the highly protected marine area is (wholly or in part) dependent. (5) In this article— “deposit, removal activity or works activity” does not include any such activity which consists of the deposit or the construction of a pontoon; “existing anchor” means the seabed anchor used by the swinging mooring which is to be replaced by an advanced mooring system. .

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.
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.
