Propose a change

Enterprise and New Towns (Scotland) Act 1990

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

28 Application to Crown land.

(1) No power (whether a power of compulsory acquisition or other compulsory power, a power to carry out works or a power of entry) which is conferred by or under this Part shall, except with the consent of the appropriate authority, be exercisable in relation to any land in which there is a Crown interest; that is to say, an interest— (a) belonging to Her Majesty in right of the Crown; or (b) belonging to a government department or held in trust for Her Majesty for the purposes of a government department. (2) A consent given for the purposes of subsection (1) above may be given on such conditions as the appropriate authority giving the consent may consider requisite. (3) Subject to subsection (1) above, the provisions of this Part shall have effect in relation to land in which there is a Crown interest as they have effect in relation to land in which there is no such interest. (4) In this section “the appropriate authority”— (a) in relation to land belonging to Her Majesty in right of the Crown and forming part of the Crown Estate, means the Crown Estate Commissioners; (b) in relation to any other land belonging to Her Majesty in right of the Crown, means the government department having the management of that land or the relevant person ; and (c) in relation to land belonging to a government department or held in trust for Her Majesty for the purposes of a government department, means that department; and, if any question arises as to what authority is the appropriate authority in relation to any land, that question shall be referred to the Treasury, whose decision shall be final. (5) In subsection (4), “relevant person”, in relation to any land to which section 90B(5) of the Scotland Act 1998 applies, means the person who manages that land.

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.
