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.
Change 1
20 Discontinuance of marine work.
(1) If it appears to the authority in whom any marine work to which this Part of this Act applies is vested that the marine work is no longer required or cannot be adequately maintained except by such expenditure as could not be justified in view of any benefit to be derived from the continued existence of the work, the authority may resolve to discontinue the maintenance of such marine work: Provided that no such resolution shall take effect unless and until it has been approved by the Secretary of State for Scotland. . . (2) On the application of the authority by whom any such resolution as aforesaid has been passed, the Secretary of State for Scotland may by order make such provision as seems to him necessary with regard to any outstanding liabilities of the authority in respect of the marine work, including any liabilities in respect of loans granted to the authority out of moneys provided by Parliament: . . . (3) When any resolution under this section takes effect, the provisions of this Part of this Act and of any other enactment applying to the marine work to which the resolution relates shall cease to have effect as regards that marine work, except in so far as the Secretary of State for Scotland may otherwise direct, and except in so far as such provisions authorise the levying and recovery of rates necessary to meet outstanding loan charges or the recovery of any rates levied but not recovered prior to the date when the resolution takes effect.

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.
