Crofters (Scotland) Act 1955 (repealed 5.1.1994)
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
31 Building grants and loans to owner-occupiers of like economic status as crofters.
(1) The Secretary of State shall have the like powers to provide assistance by way of loan, grant and the supply of building or other materials for the erection, improvement or rebuilding of buildings other than dwelling-houses for owners of holdings to which this section applies as he has to provide assistance for the erection, improvement or rebuilding of such buildings for crofters; and subsections (2), (4) and (5) of section twenty-two of this Act shall apply accordingly. (2) This section applies to any holding which— (a) is situate in the crofting counties; and (b) is either— (i) a holding of which the area does not exceed 30 hectares, or (ii) a holding of which the annual rent, if it were a croft let to a crofter under this Act and the Crofters (Scotland) Act 1961, would not in the opinion of the Secretary of State exceed £100, or (iii) a holding which exceeds 30 hectares and of which the annual rent if it were a croft so let would in the opinion of the Secretary of State exceed £100, but which in the opinion of the Secretary of State is not substantially larger than 30 hectares or is capable of being let as a croft at an annual rent not substantially in excess of £100; and (c) is owned by a person who in the opinion of the Secretary of State is of substantially the same economic status as a crofter; and (d) is occupied by the owner thereof. (3) The provisions of the Third Schedule to this Act shall apply in relation to any loan made to the owner of a holding under this section.

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.
