Sewerage (Scotland) Act 1968
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
46A Offence as to fat, oil or grease
(1) A person commits an offence if— (a) the person passes, or permits to be passed, any relevant substance from trade premises into— (i) a public sewer, or (ii) a drain connecting with such a sewer, and (b) the condition in subsection (2) is met. (2) The condition is that the relevant substance (alone or in combination with any matter with which it comes, or may come, into contact)— (a) interferes with, or is likely to interfere with, the free flow of the contents of the sewer, or (b) adversely affects, or is likely so to affect, the treatment or disposal of the contents of the sewer. (3) But no offence is committed under subsection (1) if the relevant substance is passed in accordance with the provisions of Part II of this Act. (4) In subsections (1) to (3), “relevant substance” means fat, oil or grease. (5) A person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable— (a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or a fine not exceeding £40,000 (or both), (b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine (or both).

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.
