The Merchant Shipping (Special Measures to Enhance Maritime Safety) Regulations 2024
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
6 Exemptions
(1) The Secretary of State may exempt from any provision of these Regulations— (a) a ship which does not normally engage on international voyages but is, in exceptional circumstances, required to undertake a single international voyage; (b) a ship or class of ship, in exceptional circumstances, if satisfied that compliance with such provision is either impracticable or unreasonable in the case of that ship or class of ship. (2) An exemption under paragraph (1) may be granted subject to such safety requirements as the Secretary of State thinks fit to ensure the overall safety of the ship. (3) An exemption granted under paragraph (1) may, on the giving of reasonable notice, be altered or cancelled. (4) An exemption granted under paragraph (1), or an alteration or cancellation under paragraph (3), must— (a) be in writing; (b) specify the date on which it takes effect; and (c) specify the terms, if any, on which it is given. (5) The requirement that an exemption granted under paragraph (1), or an alteration or cancellation under paragraph (3), be in writing is satisfied where the text of the exemption, alteration or cancellation is— (a) transmitted by electronic means; (b) received in legible form; and (c) capable of being used for subsequent reference. (6) Where an exemption is granted subject to safety requirements under paragraph (2), the exemption ceases to have effect if those requirements are not complied with.

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.
