Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1966
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
5 Adopted person to be treated as child of natural parents for the purposes of succession in certain circumstances.
(1) Notwithstanding section 23(1) of the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964 (adopted person to be treated for the purposes of sucession as the child of the adopter), where the adopter of an adopted person has died before 10th September 1964, the adopted person shall be treated for the purposes of succession to the estate of a natural parent, who dies after the commencementof this Act, as the child of that parent. (2) In the foregoing subsection, in relation to a person adopted jointly by spouses any reference, however worded, to the death of an adopter shall be construed as a reference to the death of both spouses: and other expressions shall have the same meaning as in Part IV of the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964.

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.
