Propose a change

Entail (Scotland) Act 1882

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.

What to do with it
As published

10 Charge upon a disentailed estate may be transferred to another estate entailed on same series of heirs.

Where an entailed estate which is charged with debt or provisions shall be disentailed, it shall be lawful for the heir in possession, in substitution for such charge, and with consent of the creditor or creditors, to charge with such debt or provisions any other estate belonging to him, and entailed upon the same series of heirs to the extent to which such other estate might have been lawfully charged with such debt or provisions.

Your change, as a redline

10 Charge upon a disentailed estate may be transferred to another estate entailed on same series of heirs.

Where an entailed estate which is charged with debt or provisions shall be disentailed, it shall be lawful for the heir in possession, in substitution for such charge, and with consent of the creditor or creditors, to charge with such debt or provisions any other estate belonging to him, and entailed upon the same series of heirs to the extent to which such other estate might have been lawfully charged with such debt or provisions.

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.
