The Merchant Shipping (Anti-Fouling Systems) Regulations 2024
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
9 Cancellation of a certificate
(1) The Secretary of State may cancel an AFS-Certificate issued in respect of a United Kingdom ship where there is reason to believe that— (a) the certificate was issued on the basis of false or erroneous information; or (b) since any survey required by these Regulations, any coating referred to in regulation 6(2)(b) or 6(4)(b) (coatings forming a barrier to prevent an organotin compound which acts as a biocide, or cybutryne, leaching from underlying non-compliant anti-fouling systems) and borne by the ship has sustained damage or is otherwise deficient.

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.
