Propose a change

Scotland Act 1998

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

104 Power to make provision consequential on legislation of, or scrutinised by, the Parliament.

(1) Subordinate legislation may make such provision as the person making the legislation considers necessary or expedient in consequence of any provision made by or under any Act of the Scottish Parliament or made by legislation mentioned in subsection (2). (2) The legislation is subordinate legislation under an Act of Parliament made by— (a) a member of the Scottish Government, (b) a Scottish public authority with mixed functions or no reserved functions, or (c) any other person (not being a Minister of the Crown) if the function of making the legislation is exercisable within devolved competence.

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.
