Propose a change

Sheriff Courts Consignations (Scotland) Act 1893

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

3 Consignations to be entered in books kept at each sheriff court.

At the principal seat of the sheriff court in each sheriffdom in Scotland, and at each other place in such sheriffdom at which an ordinary court is held by the sheriff, all consignations shall be entered by the sheriff clerk in a book or books to be kept by him for the purpose in such form as the court of session may from time to time by Act of Sederunt prescribe, and it shall be the duty of the sheriff clerk to specify full particulars of each consignation, and any person interested shall be entitled, free of charge, to inspect such book at any time that he may desire to do so.

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.
