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.
Change 1
44 New “Part VII” contracts limited to transitional cases.
(1) No contract entered into after the commencement of this section shall be a Part VII contract for the purposes of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1984 unless it is entered into in pursuance of a contract made before the commencement of this section. (2) If the terms of a Part VII contract are varied after the commencement of this section then, subject to subsection (3) below— (a) if the variation affects the amount of the rent which, under the contract, is payable for the dwelling in question, the contract shall be treated as a new contract entered into at the time of the variation (and subsection (1) above shall have effect accordingly); and (b) if the variation does not affect the amount of the rent which, under the contract, is so payable, nothing in this section shall affect the determination of the question whether the variation is such as to give rise to a new contract. (3) Any reference in subsection (2) above to a variation affecting the amount of the rent which, under a contract, is payable for a dwelling does not include a reference to— (a) a reduction or increase effected under section 66 of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1984 (power of the First-tier Tribunal); or (b) a variation which is made by the parties and has the effect of making the rent expressed to be payable under the contract the same as the rent for the dwelling which is entered in the register under section 67 of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1984. (4) Section 70(2) of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1984 (no cancellation of registration of rent until after 3 years) shall cease to have effect. (5) In this section “rent” has the same meaning as in Part VII of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1984.

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.
