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.

5 Exemptions
(1) The Secretary of State may exempt from any requirement of these Regulations or the relevant code of practice a large vessel or class of large vessel if satisfied that the conditions in paragraph (3) of chapter 1.10 (exemptions) of the relevant code of practice are met. (2) The Secretary of State may in exceptional circumstances not provided for in paragraph (1) exempt from any provision of these Regulations or the relevant code of practice a vessel or class of vessel if satisfied that compliance with such provision is either impracticable or unreasonable in the case of that vessel or class of vessel. (3) An exemption under paragraph (1) or (2) may be granted subject to such safety requirements as the Secretary of State thinks fit to ensure the overall safety of the vessel. (4) An exemption granted under paragraph (1) or (2) may, on the giving of reasonable notice, be altered or cancelled.

(6) The requirement that the exemption granted under paragraph (1) or (2), or an alteration or cancellation under paragraph (4), be in writing is satisfied where the text of the approval is— (a) transmitted by electronic means; (b) received in legible form; and (c) capable of being used for subsequent reference. (7) Where an exemption is granted subject to safety requirements under paragraph (3), 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.
