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.

15 Consent of heir who has disappeared.
In any application to the Court under the Entail Acts to which the consent of an heir is required, and the applicant shall make affidavit that such consent cannot be obtained in consequence of the absence from Scotland or disappearance of such heir, and that such heir is absent from Scotland, or has disappeared and cannot be found, the Court after such inquiry as it may think fit, shall, if satisfied that the statements contained in the affidavit are true, ascertain the value in money of the expectancy or interest of such heir in the estate, and shall direct the sum so ascertained to be paid into bank in name or for behoof of such heir, or invested in such security and in such way as the Court may direct, and thereupon the Court shall dispense with such consent, and shall proceed as if such consent had been obtained.

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.

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.
