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
9 Enforcement
(1) The HSENI must enforce the Machinery Regulation and regulation 5 in respect of a product for use at work. (2) Subject to paragraph (3), a district council must enforce the Machinery Regulation and regulation 5 within its area in respect of a product not for use at work. (3) The Secretary of State, or a person appointed by the Secretary of State to act on behalf of the Secretary of State, may enforce the Machinery Regulation and regulation 5 in respect of a product not for use at work. (4) In this regulation— “product” means machinery, a related product or partly completed machinery; “use at work” means, in relation to a product, use or operation— by persons at work (whether exclusively or not); or otherwise than at work, in non-domestic premises made available to persons as a place where they may use or operate the product and where the product is provided for their use or operation there, and for these purposes, “at work” has the same meaning as it does under or by virtue of section 52 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 for the purposes of Part 1 of that Act.

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.
