The Carbon Dioxide Transport and Storage (Financing of Costs of Offshore Decommissioning) Regulations 2026
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
28 Duty to carry out decommissioning action and report actual incurred costs
(1) Where a payment is approved by the Secretary of State under regulation 27, a person who submitted the payment request must ensure— (a) the decommissioning action is carried out, including in accordance with other applicable legal obligations that apply, (b) a safeguard measure required by the Secretary of State is complied with, (c) conditions attached to the payment approval or to a relevant regulator’s approval of the decommissioning action, are complied with, and (d) completion of the decommissioning action is reported to the Secretary of State. (2) Other relevant persons must use reasonable endeavours to ensure the matters in paragraph (1) are complied with, insofar as a decommissioning action is relevant to their decommissioning obligations. (3) Where a direct payment to a person has been approved as a safeguard measure, the persons required to ensure oversight under conditions attached to the approval granted by the Secretary of State must ensure those conditions are complied with. (4) Where the Secretary of State has approved a payment in advance of the decommissioning cost having been incurred, or the decommissioning action having been completed, the person to whom the payment was made, or any other person where required by approval conditions to do so, must promptly— (a) report the cost incurred as soon as it is paid, or as soon as it is known, and (b) repay any amount left out of the approved payment sum that has not been used, or is not to be used, for the decommissioning action in question, unless conditions attached to the payment approval permit the use of the payment for other decommissioning actions.

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.
