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
As published
15F Hearing on application
(1) At the hearing on an application for warrant for diligence on the dependence, the court shall not make any order without first giving—
(a) any person to whom intimation of the date of the hearing was made; and
(b) any other person the court is satisfied has an interest,
an opportunity to be heard.
(2) The court may, if satisfied as to the matters mentioned in subsection (3) below, make an order granting warrant for diligence on the dependence.
(3) The matters referred to in subsection (2) above are—
(a) that the creditor has a prima facie case on the merits of the action;
(b) that there is a real and substantial risk enforcement of any decree in the action in favour of the creditor would be defeated or prejudiced by reason of—
(i) the debtor being insolvent or verging on insolvency; or
(ii) the likelihood of the debtor removing, disposing of, burdening, concealing or otherwise dealing with all or some of the debtor's assets,
were warrant for diligence on the dependence not granted; ...
(c) that it is reasonable in all the circumstances, including the effect granting warrant may have on any person having an interest, to do so ; and
(d) where the debtor is an individual, that the creditor has provided the debtor with a debt advice and information package.
(4) The onus shall be on the creditor to satisfy the court that the order granting warrant should be made.
(5) Where the court makes an order granting or, as the case may be, refusing warrant for diligence on the dependence, the court shall order the creditor to intimate that order to—
(a) the debtor; and
(b) any other person appearing to the court to have an interest.
(6) Where the court makes an order refusing warrant for diligence on the dependence, the court may impose such conditions (if any) as it thinks fit.
(7) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (6) above, those conditions may require the debtor—
(a) to consign into court such sum; or
(b) to find caution or to give such other security,
as the court thinks fit.
(8) In this section and in section 15K, “debt advice and information package” means the debt advice and information package referred to in section 10(5) of the Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Act 2002.

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.
