Propose a change

Nursing Homes Registration (Scotland) Act 1938 (Repealed)

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

6 Power to exempt certain institutions.

(1) A Health Board may grant exemption from the operation of this Act in respect of any hospital or similar institution not carried on for profit and may attach conditions to any exemption granted by them. (2) Any exemption granted, or deemed to have been granted, under this section, in respect of any hospital or institution may be withdrawn at any time and, unless previously withdrawn, shall cease to have effect on the expiration of one year from the date on which it is granted, without prejudice to the power of the Health Board to grant a further exemption: Provided that, if the Board deem it convenient that all such exemptions should expire on the same date in any year, they may, for the purpose of securing that object, grant exemptions for any period not being less than six months and not exceeding eighteen months. (3) Any person who is aggrieved by the refusal of a Health Board to grant exemption under this section in respect of any hospital or institution, or by any conditions attached to an exemption, or by the withdrawal by the Board of any exemption, may appeal against the refusal or conditions or withdrawal to the Department, and the Department, after considering the matter, shall give such directions therein as they think proper, and the Board shall comply with any directions so given.

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.

Think it through

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.
