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
71 Power of development corporations to dispose of housing land.
After section 18 of the New Towns (Scotland) Act 1968 there shall be inserted the following section— Power of development corporation to dispose of housing land. 18AA (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 3 and 18 of this Act, a development corporation may sell their whole interest in any land (within or outside the area of the new town) held for housing purposes. (2) A development corporation shall not sell their interest in any land under this section without the consent of the Secretary of State, which may be given— (a) subject to conditions; (b) either generally to all development corporations or to a particular development corporation; (c) in relation either to particular land or to land of a particular description. (3) A development corporation shall not, except with the consent of the Secretary of State, sell their interest in any land under this section otherwise than on the best terms that can be reasonably obtained. .

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.
