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.
Change 1
22 Court may prescribe manner of sale.
The Court shall fix the time and place and manner of sale, and may authorise the sale of the estate, or such part of it, in whole or in lots, and either by public auction at such upset price or by private bargain at such price as the Court may direct, or partly by public auction and partly by private bargain, and if more advantageous to the parties, may direct the sale to be for feuduty instead of a price to be immediately paid, or partly for a feuduty and partly for a price. Provided that the sale shall not be by private bargain if either the applicant or the next heir shall intimate within one month after the order for sale that he desires the sale to be by public auction. When the estate is sold by public auction any creditor or person interested other than the applicant, may be the purchaser.

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.
