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
57 Scheme return code
(1) In these Regulations “scheme return code”, in relation to a deposit item, means a code which— (a) when scanned electronically, enables the registered scheme producer of the item to be identified, and (b) meets any code requirements. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), “code requirements”, in relation to a code, means any additional requirements specified for the time being by the deposit management organisation. (3) The requirements which the deposit management organisation may specify under paragraph (2) include— (a) requirements as to the technological or security standards that a code must meet to be used as a scheme return code, or (b) requirements as to the information to be retrieved when the code is scanned electronically. (4) The deposit management organisation may— (a) specify the same requirements for the code to be used on all deposit items, or (b) specify different requirements for the codes to be used on different deposit items. (5) In determining whether, and if appropriate, what requirements to specify under paragraph (2), the deposit management organisation must take into account the likely impact of those requirements on registered scheme producers. (6) Before making changes to the requirements specified for any deposit item, the deposit management organisation must take into account the likely impact of those changes on registered scheme producers. (7) Where the deposit management organisation changes the requirements specified for any deposit item, the deposit management organisation must specify the date from which the code containing those requirements is to be used. (8) The date specified for the purposes of paragraph (7) must be a date which the deposit management organisation is satisfied gives registered scheme producers sufficient notice of the change before it takes effect. (9) The deposit management organisation must take such steps as it considers appropriate to ensure that registered scheme producers are aware of the code requirements (if any) and any changes to them.

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.
