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
6 Exemptions
(1) Where marine equipment to be placed on board a United Kingdom ship is subject to the requirements set out in regulation 5(1), the Secretary of State may allow such equipment to be placed on board a ship where it does not comply with applicable international standards provided that the Secretary of State is satisfied, by whatever means, that— (a) compliance with applicable international standards is either impracticable or unreasonable in that case or cases; and (b) the exemption is subject to such conditions and limitations as will provide a level of safety which is at least equivalent to that provided by applicable international standards. (2) The Secretary of State may, on reasonable notice, alter or cancel any exemption granted under paragraph (1). (3) An exemption granted under paragraph (1), and an alteration or cancellation under paragraph (2), must be given in writing and must specify the date on which it takes effect and the terms (if any) on which it is given.

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.
