Propose a change

Church of Scotland (Property and Endowments) (Amendment) Act 1933

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.

In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, the expression “the Church” means the Church of Scotland as now constituted by the Union of the said Church with the United Free Church of Scotland on the second day of October 1929; the expression “The General Assembly” means the General Assembly of the said Church as now so constituted; the expression “the statutory properties and endowments of the parish” has the meaning assigned to it in section thirty-four of the principal Act; the expression “parliamentary church or manse” means any church or manse mentioned in the Tenth Schedule to the principal Act, together with any land whether described as churchyard, glebe or otherwise, connected with any such church or manse; and other expressions have the like meaning as in the principal Act.

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.
