Propose a change

Harbours, Piers and Ferries (Scotland) Act 1937

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.

What to do with it
As published

13 Power to lease dues.

A local authority, in whom any marine work to which this Part of this Act applies is vested, may, on such terms and conditions as they may think fit, grant a lease for any period not exceeding five years of the dues exigible in respect of the marine work, and the lessee under any such lease shall have the like right to levy and collect the dues as the local authority would have had if such lease had not been granted.

Your change, as a redline

13 Power to lease dues.

A local authority, in whom any marine work to which this Part of this Act applies is vested, may, on such terms and conditions as they may think fit, grant a lease for any period not exceeding five years of the dues exigible in respect of the marine work, and the lessee under any such lease shall have the like right to levy and collect the dues as the local authority would have had if such lease had not been granted.

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.
