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
7 Initial inspections and more detailed inspections
(1) In carrying out an initial inspection of a ship the inspector must as a minimum— (a) check the certificates and documents listed in Annex 10 of the Paris MOU; (b) verify, where appropriate, that outstanding deficiencies found during a previous inspection carried out by a member state have been rectified; (c) check that the overall condition of the ship, including the hygiene of the ship, and including the engine room and accommodation, is satisfactory. (2) A more detailed inspection must be carried out if— (a) there are clear grounds for believing during the course of an initial inspection, that the condition of a ship or of its equipment or crew does not substantially meet the relevant requirements of a Convention, or (b) the flag State for the ship is not a signatory to the Conventions. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (2) and regulation 8(2), clear grounds exist when the inspector finds evidence which in the inspector’s professional judgement warrants a more detailed inspection of the ship, its equipment or its crew.

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.
