Propose a change

Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 1991

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.

What to do with it
As published

9 Arbitration as to permanent pasture.

(1) Where under the lease of an agricultural holding, whether entered into before or after the commencement of this Act, provision is made for the maintenance of specified land, or a specified proportion of the holding, as permanent pasture, the Land Court may determine the holding that the amount of land required to be maintained as permanent pasture should be reduced. (2) The Land Court may in its determination direct that the lease shall have effect subject to such modifications of its provisions as to land which is to be maintained as permanent pasture or is to be treated as arable land, and as to cropping, as may be specified in the direction. (3) If the Land Court gives a direction under subsection (2) above reducing the area of land which is to be maintained as permanent pasture, it may also direct that the lease shall have effect as if it provided that on quitting the holding on the termination of the tenancy the tenant should leave— (a) as permanent pasture, or (b) as temporary pasture sown with seeds mixture of such kind as may be specified in that direction, (in addition to the area of land required by the lease, as modified by the direction, to be maintained as permanent pasture) a specified area of land not exceeding the area by which the land required to be maintained as permanent pasture has been reduced by the direction under subsection (2) above.

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.
