The Warm Home Discount (Scotland) Regulations 2026
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.

32 Types of spending: activities specified by the Scottish Ministers
(1) A compulsory scheme electricity supplier may, in respect of any scheme year, count towards its non-core spending obligation financial contributions (excluding Value Added Tax) made by the supplier in the scheme year to fund a specified activity. (2) A “specified activity” is an activity specified in a notice published by the Scottish Ministers. (3) The Scottish Ministers may specify an activity in a notice only if the Scottish Ministers are satisfied that— (a) the funding of the activity is open to contributions from any compulsory scheme electricity supplier; (b) the activity is of a kind listed in the first column of the table in Part 1 of Schedule 4, and does not fall within an exception in the second column of the table; (c) the activity includes adequate measures to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that— (i) every Scotland domestic customer provided with benefits under the activity will be provided with energy advice and smart meter advice; and (ii) benefits provided under the activity will be provided wholly or mainly to persons in fuel poverty or in a fuel poverty risk group; and (d) the activity will provide value for money. (4) But financial contributions made to fund a specified activity do not count towards a supplier’s non-core spending obligation if they are— (a) made pursuant to a requirement in— (i) any other enactment; or (ii) an electricity supply or gas supply licence; or (b) counted by a scheme supplier towards a spending obligation or target imposed by— (i) any other enactment; or (ii) an electricity supply or gas supply licence. (5) In addition, financial contributions to fund a specified activity may count towards a supplier’s non-core spending obligation only if they are made after the Scottish Ministers have published the notice specifying the activity.

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.
