The Seafarers (Wages and Working Conditions) 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.

27 Hours treated as worked for the purpose of determining whether a seafarer works excess hours
(1) The hours listed in paragraph (2) are treated as worked— (a) for the purposes of regulation 26(1)(d) and accordingly for the purposes of determining whether the non-qualifying seafarer works excess hours in a calculation year; (b) for the purposes of determining the number of hours of salaried hours work in that year in accordance with regulation 28 where the non-qualifying seafarer works excess hours. (2) The hours referred to in paragraph (1) are— (a) hours the non-qualifying seafarer spends training when the non-qualifying seafarer would otherwise be working; (b) hours the non-qualifying seafarer is available at or near a place of work for the purposes of working, unless the non-qualifying seafarer is at home; (c) hours the non-qualifying seafarer spends travelling for the purposes of working, when the non-qualifying seafarer would otherwise be working, unless the travelling is between— (i) the non-qualifying seafarer’s home, or a place where the non-qualifying seafarer is temporarily residing other than for the purposes of working, and (ii) a place of work or a place where an assignment is carried out. (3) In paragraph (2)(b), hours when the non-qualifying seafarer is available only includes hours when the non-qualifying seafarer is awake for the purposes of working, even if the non-qualifying seafarer is required to sleep at or near a place of work and the employer or operator provides suitable facilities for sleeping. (4) In paragraph (2)(c), hours treated as hours when the non-qualifying seafarer would otherwise be working include— (a) hours when the non-qualifying seafarer is travelling for the purpose of carrying out assignments to be carried out at different places between which the non-qualifying seafarer is obliged to travel, and which are not places occupied by the employer or operator; (b) hours when the non-qualifying seafarer is travelling where it is uncertain whether the non-qualifying seafarer would otherwise be working because the non-qualifying seafarer’s hours of work vary either as to their length or in respect of the time at which they are performed.

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.
