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.
Change 1
7 Derelict land.
Where it appears to Scottish Enterprise or to Highlands and Islands Enterprise that land is derelict, neglected or unsightly and that steps should be taken for the purpose of enabling the land (in this Act referred to as “derelict land”) to be brought into use or of improving the appearance of the land the body in question— (a) in accordance with arrangements approved by the Secretary of State may acquire, by agreement or compulsorily, the derelict land and any other land (whether or not adjacent to the derelict land) whose acquisition is reasonably required for the purpose mentioned above and may carry out, or assist in carrying out, on the derelict land and the other land such works as appear to the body to be expedient for that purpose; and (b) after carrying out those works may dispose of the land free of charge to a local authority or to a development corporation (within the meaning of the New Towns (Scotland) Act 1968) for the purpose of the land being used as a public open space.

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.
