Propose a change

Private Legislation Procedure (Scotland) Act 1936

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

What to do with it
As published

4 Formation of extra-parliamentary panel.

(1) There shall be formed a panel of persons (hereinafter referred to as the extra-parliamentary panel) qualified by experience of affairs to act as Commissioners under this Act. (2) The extra-parliamentary panel shall be formed in manner following, that is to say:— (a) The Chairmen, acting jointly with the Secretary of State, shall nominate twenty persons qualified as aforesaid, and the persons so nominated shall constitute the extra-parliamentary panel and shall remain thereon until the expiration of five years. Any casual vacancy on the panel caused by death or resignation shall be filled by appointment made by the Chairmen acting jointly with the Secretary of State; (b) At the expiration of every period of five years, the extra-parliamentary panel shall be re-formed in like manner and with the like incidents.

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.
