The Marking of Retail Goods 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
8 Powers of entry and inspection
(1) An authorised officer may enter any retail premises within the authority’s area for the purpose of enforcing these Regulations. (2) An authorised officer must, on producing some duly authenticated document showing their authority, at all reasonable hours be granted access to any retail premises, whether within or outside the authority’s area, for the purpose of ascertaining whether there is on the premises any evidence of any contravention within that area of a marking notice. (3) An authorised officer entering any retail premises by virtue of this regulation may take with them such other persons as they consider necessary, and on leaving any unoccupied premises which they have entered by virtue of this regulation must leave them as effectively secured against unauthorised entry as they found them. (4) An authorised officer entering premises by virtue of this regulation, may inspect any records (in whatever form they are held) relating to a relevant business and, where any such records are stored in any electronic form— (a) may have access to, and inspect and check the operation of, any computer and any associated apparatus or material which is or has been in use in connection with the records; and (b) require any person having charge of, or otherwise concerned with the operation of, the computer, apparatus or material to afford them such assistance as they may reasonably require. (5) Any authorised officer exercising any power conferred by paragraph (4) above may— (a) seize and detain any records which they have reason to believe may be required as evidence in proceedings under any of the provisions of these Regulations; and (b) where the records are stored in any electronic form, may require the records to be produced in a form in which they may be taken away.

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.
