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
30 Power of islands and district councils to provide and maintain roadside seats.
(1) Without prejudice to any existing power which they have in that regard, a local authority may, with the consent of the roads authority, for the use of the public, provide and maintain seats on any footway in their area; and they may maintain any such seats donated to them.
(2) In subsection (1) above, “footway” and “roads authority” have the same meanings as in the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984.

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.
