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.

4 Application
(1) These Regulations apply— (a) to United Kingdom seagoing vessels wherever they may be; and (b) to other seagoing vessels operating from United Kingdom ports whilst in United Kingdom waters, which are in commercial use for sport or pleasure. (2) These Regulations do not apply to— (a) vessels carrying more than twelve passengers; (b) pleasure vessels; (c) craft to which the Merchant Shipping (High Speed Offshore Service Craft) Regulations 2022 apply. (3) Where persons are on board a vessel as a consequence of— (a) the vessel being in United Kingdom waters by virtue only of stress of weather or any other circumstances which the master, owner or charterer could not have prevented; or (b) an obligation laid upon the master to carry shipwrecked or other persons, those persons are not to be taken into account for the purpose of determining the application to that vessel of any provision of these Regulations.

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.
