Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994
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
109 Right of objection to proposed laying of mains.
In section 23 of the 1980 Act (power to lay mains), after subsection (1) there shall be inserted— (1A) If within two months after the service of a notice under subsection (1)(b) above the owner or occupier objects to the water authority about the proposed works (and that objection is not withdrawn), the authority shall not proceed to lay the main but shall refer the matter by summary application to the sheriff, who may— (a) grant consent to the proposed works, either unconditionally or subject to such terms and conditions as he thinks just; or (b) withhold his consent; and the decision of the sheriff on the matter shall be final. .

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.
