Local Government (Footpaths and Open Spaces) (Scotland) Act 1970
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
3 Power of local authority to acquire or maintain certain open spaces.
A local authority may, for the purpose of preserving or improving the amenity of land forming an open space,— (a) acquire the land by agreement, or (b) without acquiring the land, undertake the entire or partial control and maintenance of that open space: Provided that the local authority shall not exercise the power conferred on them by paragraph (b) of this section unless they have taken all reasonable steps to ascertain the identity of every owner of the open space and have obtained the consent of at least a majority of those owners whose identity they have ascertained.

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.
