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.

20 Procedure.

In every application for an order of sale, in addition to the procedure prescribed for applications under the Entail Acts, the applicant shall produce and depone to a schedule signed by him, or his tutors, curators, or administrators, setting forth the debts and charges affecting the estate, and the Court shall order intimation to be made to the heirs of entail whose consents would have been required to an application for disentail, and to the creditors, if there be any, and such heirs and creditors shall be entitled to appear for the purpose of seeing that their respective interests are protected, but shall not be entitled to oppose the application.

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.
