The Supply of Machinery (Safety) (Amendment etc.) and the EU Machinery Regulation (Enforcement etc. in Northern Ireland) 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
12 Offences
(1) It is an offence for an economic operator to contravene any obligation set out in— (a) Article 10 (obligations of manufacturers of machinery and related products); (b) Article 11 (obligations of manufacturers of partly completed machinery); (c) Article 13 (obligations of importers of machinery and related products); (d) Article 14 (obligations of importers of partly completed machinery); (e) Article 15 (obligations of distributors of machinery and related products); (f) Article 16 (obligations of distributors of partly completed machinery); (g) Article 18 (other cases in which obligations of manufacturers apply); (h) Article 19 (identification of economic operators); (i) Article 23 (general principles of the CE marking); (j) Article 24 (rules for affixing the CE marking to machinery and related products). (2) Where an enforcer makes one of the following findings in relation to machinery or a related product, the enforcer must require the relevant economic operator to remedy the non-compliance within such reasonable period as the enforcer specifies— (a) the UK(NI) indication has not been affixed, in contravention of regulation 5; or (b) the UK(NI) indication has been affixed otherwise than in accordance with regulation 5. (3) The enforcer must not take any other enforcement action against the economic operator in respect of the non-compliance referred to in paragraph (2) until the period specified by the enforcer has elapsed. (4) Where the non-compliance referred to in paragraph (2) persists beyond the period specified by the enforcer, the enforcer must take appropriate measures to ensure that the machinery or related product is withdrawn or recalled. (5) It is an offence for an economic operator to contravene any obligation set out in regulation 5 but no proceedings for such an offence may be brought against the economic operator unless the economic operator has been required by the enforcer to remedy the non-compliance in accordance with paragraph (2) and has failed to do so within the period specified by the enforcer under that paragraph.

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.
