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.

7 Minor works.
(1) Where,— (a) a local or harbour authority in whom a marine work to which Part III of this Act applies is vested are desirous of undertaking the construction, reconstruction, extension or improvement of any works, machinery or conveniences ancillary to, or in connection with, the marine work; or (b) a local authority are desirous of undertaking the construction, reconstruction, extension or improvement of a marine work within the Highland Region, the islands areas of Orkney, Shetland or the Western Isles or the Argyll district other than the former burgh of Rothesay and the former district of Bute. and in either case it is shown to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State for Scotland that the cost of the necessary operations will not exceed six hundred thousand pounds the Secretary of State for Scotland may authorise such authority to undertake the same, subject to and in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Second Schedule to this Act. (2) Any works constructed under the foregoing subsection which are ancillary to, or in connection with, a marine work shall, for the purposes of this Act or of any other Act relating to the marine work, be deemed to be part thereof. (3) If it appears to the Secretary of State that the sum of two hundred thousand pounds specified in subsection (1) above (or such other sum as may for the time being be so specified by virtue of an order made under this subsection) should be varied, he may by an order made by statutory instrument amend subsection (1) above by substituting for that sum such other sum as may be specified in the order. (4) Any order made under subsection (3) above may be revoked by a subsequent order thereunder which substitutes another sum for the sum specified in the order which is thereby revoked. (5) No order shall be made under subsection (3) above unless a draft of the order has been laid before Parliament and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament.

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.
