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
8 Expanded inspection of certain ships
(1) An expanded inspection— (a) is required for the periodic inspection of— (i) ships with a high risk profile as determined under Annex 7 of the Paris MOU, (ii) passenger ships, oil tankers, gas or chemical tankers or bulk carriers, older than 12 years of age, and (b) may be required for the additional inspection of— (i) ships with a high risk profile or passenger ships, oil tankers, gas or chemical tankers or bulk carriers, older than 12 years of age, in cases of— (aa) overriding factors as set out in paragraph 11, or (bb) unexpected factors as set out in paragraph 12, of Annex 8 to the Paris MOU, or (ii) ships subject to a re-inspection following a refusal of access order issued in accordance with regulation 16. (2) An expanded inspection may include a more detailed inspection whenever there are clear grounds for believing that the condition of a ship or of its equipment or crew does not substantially meet the relevant requirements of a Convention. (3) Where this regulation applies, a ship must not leave the port or anchorage until the inspection is completed but this does not prevent the application of any control measures required for security purposes in accordance with SOLAS, Chapter XI-2, Regulation 9.1 (special measures to enhance maritime security). (4) In this regulation— “additional inspection” means an inspection which is not a periodic inspection; “periodic inspection” means a routine inspection carried out at intervals specified by the Paris MOU.

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.
