Propose a change

Housing (Scotland) Act 1988

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.

12 Assured tenancies.

(1) A tenancy under which a house is let as a separate dwelling is for the purposes of this Act an assured tenancy if and so long as— (a) the tenant or, as the case may be, at least one of the joint tenants is an individual; and (b) the tenant or, as the case may be, at least one of the joint tenants occupies the house as his only or principal home; and (c) the tenancy is not one which, by virtue of subsection (1A) or (2) below, cannot be an assured tenancy.

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.
