The Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) 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
15 Extension of certificates
(1) A Certifying Authority that has issued a certificate in respect of a large or small vessel may extend the period of validity of that certificate for a period not exceeding three calendar months provided the conditions in paragraph (2) are met.

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.
