Propose a change

Transport (Scotland) Act 1989

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

What to do with it
As published

2 Objectives of disposal.

(1) The main objective of the Secretary of State in preparing the disposal programme shall be to promote sustained and fair competition, both between companies which are Group or former Group companies and between any such companies and other persons engaged in providing services of a like nature to those provided by such companies or in carrying on any activities carried on in connection with the provision of such services. (2) The Secretary of State shall have regard in preparing the disposal programme— (a) to the desirability of promoting the acquisition by persons employed in any undertaking or part of an undertaking which is to be the subject of a disposal under the programme (whether alone or jointly with other persons) of a controlling interest in the equity share capital of any company operating or proposing to operate that undertaking or part; and (b) to the effect which he estimates the implementation of any part of the programme will have on the net value that may be expected to be secured from all disposals required under the programme, where that value is the excess of the aggregate proceeds arising from all disposals so required over the aggregate costs incurred in carrying out the programme and taking any other steps required in preparation for the dissolution of the Group.

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.
