Propose a change

Public Registers and Records (Scotland) Act 1948

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 Disposal of records which might have been transmitted to Keeper.

Your change, as a redline

5 Disposal of records which might have been transmitted to Keeper.

Any regulations made under section twelve of the Public Records (Scotland) Act, 1937 with regard to the disposal of records transmitted to the Keeper of the Records of Scotland, shall apply to records which could competently have been transmitted to the said Keeper under section five of the said Act or otherwise if the Keeper and the body or person having the custody of the records so agree.

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.
