Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Act 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.

5 Repositories
(1) This section applies in relation to a repository in the United Kingdom in which samples of marine genetic resources of areas beyond national jurisdiction are stored. (2) The person who controls the repository must— (a) so far as reasonably practicable, ensure that the samples— (i) can be identified, in accordance with current international practice, as originating from areas beyond national jurisdiction, and (ii) in particular, can be identified by reference to any Article 12(3) identifier relating to the marine genetic resources concerned, (b) provide access to the samples for the purposes of their utilisation by another person (subject to section 7(1)), and (c) for each relevant 2-year period (see section 7(2)), give the Secretary of State a report stating, so far as reasonably practicable, the number of times access to the samples has been provided under paragraph (b). (3) A report under subsection (2)(c) must identify the samples by reference to any Article 12(3) identifier relating to the marine genetic resources concerned.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
