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.

12 Powers of the Board.
(1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the Board may do anything, whether in Scotland or elsewhere, which they consider necessary, expedient or desirable,— (a) for preserving, enlarging, and increasing the utility of, their collections; (b) for securing the proper administration of any moveable property vested in or held by them, and any heritable property, owned, occupied or managed by them; or (c) otherwise for the purpose of discharging their functions. (2) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Board may— (a) enter into any contract or agreement, including a contract or agreement for the acquisition or disposal of land; (b) manage, develop or carry out works on land, and maintain or assist in the maintenance of any such works; (c) undertake or execute any trust; (d) act as agents for other persons; (e) with the consent of the Secretary of State, make grants to any person; (f) with the consent of the Secretary of State, invest and borrow money; (g) lend, sell, give, use for exchange or otherwise dispose of any item related to their functions; and (h) provide or assist in the promotion of publicity related to their functions. (3) The Board may require payment for any advice, instruction, education or other service provided by the Board or for any goods provided by them, or for entry to any land owned, occupied or managed by them. (4) The Board may allow premises owned or occupied by them, or any of their resources or services, to be used by other persons (for payment or otherwise) for purposes not connected with the Board’s functions, if they are satisfied that to do so would not conflict unduly with those functions.

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.
