Propose a change

The Merchant Shipping (Port State Control) 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

What to do with it

15 Refusal of access

Subject to regulation 18, a ship must not enter a port or anchorage in the United Kingdom where a member state has issued a refusal of access notice in respect of the ship, unless that refusal of access notice has ceased to have effect in accordance with regulation 17.

Your change, as a redline

15 Refusal of access

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.

Think it through

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.
