Deer (Scotland) Act 1959 (repealed 18.11.1996)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
5 Returns of numbers of deer killed.
(1) The Commission for the purpose of any of their functions may by notice in writing served on the owner or occupier of any land require him to make a return in such form as the Commission may require showing the number of . . . deer of each species and of each sex which to his knowledge have been taken orkilled on the land during such period (not exceeding five years) immediately preceding the service of the notice as may be specified therein. (2) If any person on whom a notice under the foregoing subsection has been served— (a) fails without reasonable cause to make the required return within thirty-six days after the service of the notice, or (b) in making the return knowingly or recklessly furnishes any information which is false in a material particular, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or to both such fine and imprisonment.

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.
