The Deposit Scheme for Drinks Containers (England and Northern Ireland) Regulations 2025
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
As published
18 Registration of a product line as a “low volume line”
(1) The scheme producer of a product line may apply to register that line with the deposit management organisation as a low volume line in relation to—
(a) the first scheme year, if the number of containers of any size or shape in the product line in that scheme year will not exceed 6,250, and
(b) any other scheme year, if the number of containers of any size or shape in the product line in that scheme year will not exceed 5,000, and
(c) the containers are filled with the same particular drink.
(2) An application under paragraph (1) (an “LVL application”) must—
(a) state the scheme year to which it relates, and
(b) be made in such form and manner, and contain such information as the deposit management organisation may direct.
(3) Where the registered scheme producer is a partnership, the LVL application must, if made by only one partner, be made by that partner on behalf of all of the partners.
(4) Where the deposit management organisation receives an LVL application, it must—
(a) grant the application and register the relevant line, if it is satisfied that the relevant threshold in paragraph (1) will not be exceeded;
(b) otherwise, refuse the application.
(5) The deposit management organisation must notify the applicant, in writing, of its decision on the relevant LVL application.
(6) A notification under paragraph (5) must—
(a) where the LVL application is granted, state the scheme year in relation to which the relevant product line is registered as a low volume line;
(b) where the LVL application is refused, state the reasons for that decision and inform the applicant of their right under regulation 76 to ask the deposit management organisation to review its decision.

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.
