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
32 Determination of overseas refund amount
(1) The deposit management organisation must, for each specified overseas scheme, determine the amount which is to be paid by scheme collectors in respect of overseas scheme items which are the subject of that scheme.
(2) Such an amount is referred to in these Regulations as an “overseas refund amount”.
(3) The deposit management organisation may revise the overseas refund amount for the overseas scheme items which are the subject of a particular specified overseas scheme, but must not do so more than once in any 12 month period.
(4) Before making a determination under paragraph (1), or revising an overseas refund amount under paragraph (3), the deposit management organisation must—
(a) consult—
(i) such persons as appear to the deposit management organisation to represent those likely to be affected by the determination or revision, and
(ii) such other persons (if any) as the deposit management organisation considers appropriate, and
(b) have regard to the views expressed in responses to the consultation.
(5) The deposit management organisation must publish in such manner as it considers appropriate, a notice of any determination or revision made under this regulation, for the purposes of bringing it to the attention of scheme collectors and consumers.
(6) A notice under paragraph (5) must specify—
(a) the overseas refund amount or revised overseas refund amount, and
(b) the date on which the determination takes effect, or
(c) if the notice relates to the revision of an overseas amount, the date on which the revision takes effect.
(7) The date specified for the purposes of paragraph (6)(b) or paragraph (6)(c) must not be before the end of the period of three calendar months beginning with the date on which the relevant notice is published.

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.
