Land Drainage (Scotland) Act 1958
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
1 Application for improvement order and making of order by Secretary of State.

(2) On receiving an application for an improvement order the Secretary of State, if he is satisfied— (a) that it is in the interests of agricultural production that the drainage of an area consisting of or including the agricultural land to which such application relates or any part of such land should be improved or that ... erosion to which that area is subject should be prevented or mitigated; and (b) that such drainage could be improved or such ... erosion prevented or mitigated by the execution of drainage works at a cost which is reasonable having regard to the benefit to agricultural production likely to accrue therefrom; and (c) that it is otherwise expedient for him to do so; shall have power to make an improvement order relating to the said area. (3) In this Act the area to which an improvement order relates as aforesaid is, in relation to that order, referred to as the “improvement area”.

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.
