7 Regular inspections
(1) Subject to paragraph (3), the Secretary of State must, in relation to each ship, ensure that the inspections set out in paragraph (2) are carried out once during the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which a ship is first used to operate a particular regular service and thereafter during each subsequent period of 12 months while the ship continues to be so used. (2) The inspections referred to in paragraph (1) are— (a) an inspection in accordance with the requirements of Part 2 of Schedule 2, and (b) an inspection during a regular service, which must cover— (i) the items listed in Schedule 3, and (ii) those of the requirements listed in Schedule 2 which need to be met in the professional judgement of the inspector. (3) Any pre-commencement inspection in relation to a particular regular service may be treated as satisfying the requirement for an inspection in relation to that service for the purposes of paragraph (2)(a) if— (a) the inspection under paragraph (2)(a) is required for the first time, and (b) the Secretary of State, after taking into account the result of the pre-commencement inspection, is satisfied that the requirement for an inspection under paragraph (2)(a) is unnecessary. (4) The inspection referred to in paragraph (2)(a) may be carried out at the same time as, or in conjunction with, the annual flag State survey for the ship provided that the relevant procedures and guidelines for surveys specified in HSSC or procedures designed to achieve the same goal are followed. (5) The inspection referred to in paragraph (2)(b) must take place no earlier than four months and no later than eight months after— (a) the date on which the ship is first used to operate a particular regular service, and (b) each anniversary of that date. (6) Subject to paragraph (7), the Secretary of State may require that an inspection in accordance with Part 2 of Schedule 2 is carried out— (a) each time a ship undergoes repairs, alterations and modifications in respect of an item included in Part 2 of Schedule 2; (b) where there is a change of company in relation to a ship; (c) when there is a transfer of the maritime classification society which issued a class certificate for a ship. (7) Where the Secretary of State considers that the safe operation of the ship is not affected by a change of company or transfer of maritime classification society, the Secretary of State may, after taking account of inspections previously carried out for that ship, exempt the ship from the inspection required under paragraph (6)(b) or, as the case may be, paragraph (6)(c).

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.
