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.

22 Returns regarding repayment of moneys borrowed.
(1) The clerk to the harbour authority by whom any moneys have been borrowed under this Act shall, within one month after being requested so to do by the Secretary of State for Scotland, transmit to him a return showing the provision made by the authority for the repayment of the moneys so borrowed. (2) The return shall show such particulars, shall be made up to such date, and shall be in such form as the Secretary of State for Scotland may require, shall be certified by the person whose duty it is to keep the accounts of the authority, and shall, if so required by the Secretary of State for Scotland, be verified by a statutory declaration made by that person. (3) If it appears to the Secretary of State for Scotland from any return made under this section or otherwise that the authority— (a) have failed to pay any instalment or to make any annual payment required to be paid or made; or (b) have failed to appropriate to the discharge of any loan any sum required to be so appropriated; or (c) have failed to set apart any sum required for a sinking fund; or (d) have applied any portion of a sinking fund to a purpose other than those authorised; the Secretary of State for Scotland may by order direct that such sum as is specified in the order, not exceeding the amount in respect of which default has been made, shall be paid or applied in the manner and by the date set out in the order, and the authority shall notify the Secretary of State for Scotland as soon as the order has been complied with. (4) An order made under the last foregoing subsection may be enforced at the instance of the Secretary of State for Scotland under section ninety-one of the Court of Session Act 1868, in like manner as if compliance with the order were a statutory duty. (5) If a return required to be made under this section is not made, the person in default shall be liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale and notwithstanding the recovery of any such penalty the making of the return may be enforced as aforesaid.

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.
