The Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) 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
25 Powers to detain
(1) A ship is liable to be detained where a surveyor of ships is satisfied that there is, or has been, a failure— (a) to comply with regulation 5(1); or (b) by the owner of a ship to comply with a direction issued under regulation 8(3). (2) Section 284(1) to (6) and (8) of the Act (enforcing detention of ship) applies to a ship which is liable to be detained under this regulation as if— (a) references to detention of a ship under the Act were references to detention of the ship in question under this regulation; and (b) references to a detention notice under paragraph (3) were references to a notice of detention. (3) Where a ship is liable to be detained under this regulation the person detaining the ship must serve on the master of the ship a detention notice which— (a) states that a surveyor of ships is of the opinion that, in relation to that ship, there is a failure to comply with the requirements of regulation 5(1) or a direction issued under regulation 8(3); (b) details the reasons why the surveyor is of the opinion those requirements of regulation 5(1) or a direction issued under regulation 8(3) are not met; and (c) requires the terms of the notice to be complied with until the ship is released. (4) Sections 96 and 97 of the Act (which relate to arbitration and compensation in connection with detention of a ship) apply in relation to a detention notice under this regulation as those sections apply to a detention notice under section 95 of the Act with the following modifications— (a) the arbitrator must have regard, in coming to a decision, to any other matters not specified in the detention notice which appear to be relevant to whether or not the ship was liable to be detained under paragraph (1); and (b) the arbitrator must state in the decision whether or not there was a valid basis for detention of the ship.

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.
