Propose a change

Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980

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

What to do with it
As published

68 Designation of sports grounds and sporting events.

(1) The Secretary of State may for the purposes of this Part of this Act by order designate— (a) a sports ground or a class of sports ground; (b) a sporting event, or a class of sporting event, at that ground or at any of that class of ground: Provided that a sporting event at which all the participants take part without financial or material reward and to which all spectators are admitted free of charge shall not be subject to an order under this section; but this proviso is without prejudice to the order’s validity as respects any other sporting event. (c) a sporting event, or a class of sporting event, taking place outside Great Britain: (2) The power to make an order under subsection (1) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

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.
