Propose a change

Education (Scotland) Act 1980

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.

What to do with it
As published

108A Courts’ power to give effect to reorganisation scheme on petition of Lord Advocate.

Where the Lord Advocate is of opinion on any such ground as is specified in section 108 of this Act that a scheme should be made for the future government and management of any endowment , he may present a petition to the Court of Session for such a scheme, and on any such petition the Court shall have power to make a scheme for the future government and management of the endowment and for the application of the capital or income of the endowment to any purposes, as nearly as may be analogous to those contained in the governing instrument, as the Court shall think fit.

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.
