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

11 Applications may be made by guardians on behalf of minors and persons under disability.

In every case in which it is competent for an heir in possession of an entailed estate, being of full age and not subject to any legal incapacity, to make an application to the Court under the Entail Acts, it shall hereafter be competent for an heir in possession, though a minor, with consent of his curators, or for the tutors of an heir in possession, if he is a pupil, or for his curator or other administrator if he is otherwise incapacitated, to make such application, not being an application for authority to disentail the entailed estate or any part thereof, and to execute and carry into effect any authority which may be given by the Court. Provided that the Court shall not grant such application unless they are satisfied that it is for the benefit of the heir by whom or on whose behalf it is made.

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.
