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.
Change 1
46 Notification of the imposition of a surcharge
(1) A harbour authority which imposes a surcharge must send a surcharge notification to the operator of the service within the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the duty to impose the surcharge arises. (2) A surcharge notification must be in writing and may be given— (a) by delivering or sending it to or leaving it at— (i) the operator’s registered office, (ii) the operator’s principal place of business, or (iii) another address specified by the operator as their address for service, or (b) where paragraph (3) applies, by sending the surcharge notification to the operator using email. (3) This paragraph applies where an operator has notified the harbour authority of an email address at which the operator will accept notifications under these Regulations or under the 2024 Regulations. (4) Where a surcharge notification is to be given to an operator whose address cannot be ascertained after reasonable inquiry it may be given by handing it to the master of a ship operating the service. (5) A surcharge notification must include— (a) the amount of each surcharge to which the notification relates, (b) the date on which the duty to impose each surcharge arose, (c) how payment may be made to the harbour authority, (d) the payment deadline, and (e) the date on which the surcharge notification is sent. (6) The harbour authority must send a copy of the surcharge notification to the Secretary of State within the period of 7 days beginning with the day on which the surcharge notification is given to the operator. (7) The copy of the surcharge notification must be sent to the Secretary of State by email, to the email address specified for that purpose on the gov.uk website. (8) In this regulation, “payment deadline” means the last day within the period specified in regulation 48 (period for payment of surcharges).

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.
