New Towns (Scotland) Act 1977
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
2 Duties and powers of winding up body.
An order made under section 1 of this Act may contain provision— (a) imposing a duty on the winding up body— (i) to manage the heritable and moveable property and interests therein, exercise the rights and meet the liabilities and obligations transferred to them by the order, and to comply with any directions which the Secretary of State may give as to the carrying out of such duties; (ii) to offer to sell, on the best terms that can reasonably be obtained, unless the Secretary of State and the Treasury otherwise consent, such heritable and moveable property and interests therein as the Secretary of State may specify, to such persons as the Secretary of State, after consultation with the winding up body, may specify; (iii) without prejudice to the powers of the Secretary of State mentioned in head (ii) above, to offer to sell to previous proprietors, on terms approved by the Secretary of State and the Treasury, interests in land which had been acquired from those proprietors by the development corporation; (iv) to dispose of any remaining assets on the best terms that can reasonably be obtained, unless the Secretary of State and the Treasury otherwise consent; (v) to complete the winding up of the new town by such date as the Secretary of State, after consultation with the winding-up body, may specify; (b) conferring on the winding up body the powers conferred or duties imposed by the said Act of 1968 on a development corporation for the purpose of facilitating the discharge of the functions of the winding up body, whether within or outwith the area of the new town, subject to such modifications as the Secretary of State may determine; (c) for such incidental, consequential and supplementary matters as appear to the Secretary of State to be appropriate.

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.
