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
121 Requirements to lay reports etc. before Parliament.
(1) This section applies where— (a) a pre-commencement enactment makes provision for any report to be laid before Parliament or either House of Parliament, and (b) the report concerns Scottish functions. (2) If the report only concerns Scottish functions, it shall be laid instead before the Scottish Parliament. (3) In any other case, it shall be laid before the Scottish Parliament as well as before Parliament or (as the case may be) either House of Parliament. (4) In this section— “report” includes accounts and any statement, “Scottish functions” has the same meaning as in section 119.

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.
