National Heritage (Scotland) Act 1985
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
11 The Board’s general functions.
(1) So far as practicable and subject to the provisions of this Act, the Board shall— (a) carry out investigation and research into the science of plants and related subjects, and disseminate the results of the investigation and research, (b) maintain and develop collections of living plants and preserved plant material, books, archives and other related objects, (c) keep the collections as national reference collections, and secure that they are available to persons for the purposes of study, (d) provide advice, information and education, in any manner which seems appropriate to them, in relation to any aspect of the science of plants or of any related subject, (e) provide other services (including quarantine) in relation to plants, and (f) afford to members of the public opportunities to enter any land occupied or managed by the Board for the purpose of gaining knowledge and enjoyment from the Board’s collections. (2) If the Secretary of State directs the Board to exercise functions which are exercisable by him (whether by virtue of an enactment or otherwise), which in his opinion can appropriately be exercised by the Board having regard to their functions and resources the Board shall exercise them on his behalf in such manner as he may from time to time direct; but nothing in this subsection authorises the Board to exercise a function of making regulations or other instruments of a legislative nature. (3) The Board’s name shall not be taken to confine their activities to Edinburgh.

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.
