Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979
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.

As published
9B Scheduled monument enforcement notices: further provisions
(1) A scheduled monument enforcement notice—
(a) must specify the date on which it is to take effect and, subject to section 9C(3), takes effect on that date, and
(b) must specify the period (the “period for compliance”) within which—
(i) any works required to cease must cease,
(ii) any steps required to be taken must be taken,
and may specify different periods for different works or steps.
(2) Where different periods apply to different works or steps, references in this Act to the period for compliance with a scheduled monument enforcement notice, in relation to any works or step, are to the period within which the works are required to cease or the step is required to be taken.
(3) The date specified in the notice under subsection (1)(a) must be at least 28 days after the date on which the notice is served.
(4) A copy of a scheduled monument enforcement notice must be served—
(a) on the owner, the lessee and the occupier of the monument to which it relates and of the land in, on or under which the monument is situated,
(b) on any other person having an interest in the monument or land, being an interest which in the opinion of Historic Environment Scotland is materially affected by the notice.
(5) Historic Environment Scotland may, at any time—
(a) withdraw a scheduled monument enforcement notice (without prejudice to its power to issue another), or
(b) waive or relax any requirement of such a notice and, in particular, extend the period for compliance.
(6) Historic Environment Scotland must, immediately after exercising the powers conferred by subsection (5), give notice of the exercise to every person who has been served with a copy of the scheduled monument enforcement notice or would, if the notice were reissued, be served with a copy of it.
(7) Historic Environment Scotland must—
(a) publish by electronic means (as for example by means of the internet) a list containing particulars of any monument in respect of which a scheduled monument enforcement notice has been served, and
(b) on request, provide a copy of a scheduled monument enforcement notice.

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.
