Deer (Scotland) Act 1959 (repealed 18.11.1996)
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
25A Licences to deal in venison.
(1) A council may grant to any person whom they consider fit a licence to deal in venison (to be known as a “venison dealer’s licence”). (2) The Secretary of State shall have power by order to regulate applications for venison dealers’ licences and the manner in which they are to be dealt with (including power to authorise . . . councils to charge fees in respect of such applications); and also to regulate the procedure by which venison dealers’ licences may be surrendered, and the procedure for handing in of licences where a court has ordered their forfeiture or the holders have ceased to deal in venison; and in that regard he may apply any provision of Schedule 1 to the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, as he thinks fit. (3) A venison dealer’s licence shall be valid for 3 years (unless the dealer has been disqualified from holding a licence by reason of his conviction of an offence under this Act), and may be renewed provided that he is not at the time of application subject to such disqualification. (4) Every . . . council which grants a venison dealer’s licence shall cause to be sent to the Commission as soon as may be a copy of the licence. (5) Every . . . council by whom venison dealers’ licences are granted shall, as soon as may be after the first day of January in each year, make a return to the Commission of the names and addresses of the persons who on that day held venison dealers’ licences issued by the council.

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.
