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
44 The Scottish Government.
(1) There shall be a Scottish Government, whose members shall be— (a) the First Minister, (b) such Ministers as the First Minister may appoint under section 47, and (c) the Lord Advocate and the Solicitor General for Scotland. (2) The members of the Scottish Government are referred to collectively as the Scottish Ministers. (3) A person who holds a Ministerial office may not be appointed a member of the Scottish Government ; and if a member of the Scottish Government is appointed to a Ministerial office he shall cease to hold office as a member of the Scottish Government. (4) In subsection (3), references to a member of the Scottish Government include a junior Scottish Minister and “Ministerial office” has the same meaning as in section 2 of the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975.

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.
