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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

5 Applications for authority to charge for improvements and grant leases may be made in the sheriff court.

Any application under the Entail Amendment Act, 1875, and the Entail Amendment Act, 1878, for authority to borrow and charge for improvement expenditure, and any application for authority to grant leases under the Entail Acts may be made in the sheriff court. And it shall be lawful for the sheriff (including the sheriff substitute) to grant such authority and to exercise all necessary powers for carrying out the provisions of the said Acts in those particulars. In such applications the procedure with regard to notice and inquiry shall be as nearly as possible the same as in applications to the sheriff for authority to feu under the Entail Amendment Act, 1868, and there shall be the like appeal to one of the divisions of the Court of Session, but there shall be no appeal from the sheriff substitute to the sheriff.

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.
