Partnerships (Prosecution) (Scotland) Act 2013
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
4 Prosecution of partnership after change in membership
(1) This section and section 5 apply where— (a) there is a change in the membership of a partnership, (b) the partnership continues to carry on business after the change, and (c) an offence is alleged to have been committed by the partnership before the change. (2) The partnership may be prosecuted, or continue to be prosecuted, for the offence. (3) For the purposes of this section and section 5, any enactment or rule of law, by virtue of which a change in membership of a partnership results in a new partnership being constituted, does not apply. (4) In this section and section 5, there is a change in the membership of a partnership where— (a) a partner dies or, if not an individual, ceases to exist, (b) a partner resigns, retires or is expelled from the partnership, or (c) a person is admitted as a partner into the partnership.

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.
