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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

(2) A copy of any information kept under subsection (1) above, purporting to be certified under the hand of an authorised officer of the First-tier Tribunal shall, unless the contrary is shown, be deemed to have been signed by such officer and be sufficient evidence of that information. (3) An order under subsection (1) above— (a) may prescribe the fees to be charged for the supply of a copy, including a certified copy, of any of the information kept by virtue of that subsection; and (b) may make different provision with respect to different cases or description of case, including different provision for different areas.

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.
