Propose a change

Local Government and Planning (Scotland) Act 1982

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

28 Islands or district council’s functions in relation to the provision of clocks.

A local authority— (a) may provide a clock for public purposes and may maintain, illuminate or remove such clock; and (b) where a clock is not owned by the authority but is open to public view, may for the purposes of securing its maintenance or illumination enter into an agreement with its owner.

Your change, as a redline

28 Islands or district council’s functions in relation to the provision of clocks.

A local authority— (a) may provide a clock for public purposes and may maintain, illuminate or remove such clock; and (b) where a clock is not owned by the authority but is open to public view, may for the purposes of securing its maintenance or illumination enter into an agreement with its owner.

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.
