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
3 Heirs under new entails may disentail with the same consents as heirs under old entails.
It shall be lawful for an heir of entail in possession of an entailed estate held under an entail, dated on or after the first day of August one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight to disentail the estate and acquire it in fee simple by applying to the Court in the manner provided by the Entail Acts if he shall be the only heir of entail in existence, or if he shall obtain the like consents as are required by the third section of the Entail Amendment Act, 1848, in the case of entails dated prior to the said date. Provided that any creditor of an heir of entail in possession who is empowered by this section by himself alone, without the consent of any other party to acquire the estate in fee simple, shall have the like powers of affecting the estate for payment of debt, and shall have the like rights and interest therein as if the entail had been dated prior to the said date.

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.
