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.
Change 1
5 Responsibility of sheriff clerk for safe custody.
The sheriff clerk shall be responsible for the safe custody of all consignations made with him, whether lodged on deposit receipt or otherwise, and shall be bound to account for the same, with interest, if any, accrued thereon, to the person having right thereto, subject to the others of the sheriff principal, and he shall be bound to keep the same distinct from any other funds in his possession. The sheriff clerk shall not be liable for any loss resulting from the failure of any bank in which any consignation shall have been lodged as aforesaid.

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.
