Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987
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.

(3) An application under subsection (2) above shall be— (a) in (or as nearly as may be in) the form prescribed by Act of Sederunt; (b) made at any time during which the arrestment has effect; and (c) intimated to— (i) the creditor; (ii) the arrestee; and (iii) any other person appearing to have an interest.

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.
