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.

19 Notice of proceedings for possession.
(1) The First-tier Tribunal shall not entertain proceedings for possession of a house let on an assured tenancy unless— (a) the landlord (or, where there are joint landlords, any of them) has served on the tenant a notice in accordance with this section; or (b) the Tribunal considers it reasonable to dispense with the requirement of such a notice. (2) The First-tier Tribunal shall not make an order for possession on any of the grounds in Schedule 5 to this Act unless that ground and particulars of it are specified in the notice under this section; but the grounds specified in such a notice may be altered or added to with the leave of the Tribunal. (3) A notice under this section is one in the prescribed form informing the tenant that— (a) the landlord intends to raise proceedings for possession of the house on one or more of the grounds specified in the notice; and (b) those proceedings will not be raised earlier than the expiry of the period of two weeks or two months (whichever is appropriate under subsection (4) below) from the date of service of the notice. (4) The minimum period to be specified in a notice as mentioned in subsection (3)(b) above is— (a) two months if the notice specifies any of Grounds 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 17 in Schedule 5 to this Act (whether with or without other grounds); and (b) in any other case, two weeks. (5) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (6) Where a notice under this section relating to a contractual tenancy— (a) is served during the tenancy; or (b) is served after the tenancy has been terminated but relates(in whole or in part) to events occurring during the tenancy, the notice shall have effect notwithstanding that the tenant becomes or has become tenant under a statutory assured tenancy arising on the termination of the contractual tenancy. (7) A notice under this section shall cease to have effect 6 months after the date on or after which the proceedings for possession to which it relates could have been raised.

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.
