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

4 The Group’s powers of disposal.

(1) Without prejudice to any powers conferred on them by or under any other enactment, the Group shall have power to do, in such manner as they think fit, any thing required in pursuance of the disposal programme. (2) The Group shall not exercise their powers under subsection (1) above in relation to any disposal required in pursuance of the disposal programme except with the consent of the Secretary of State; and such consent may be given either— (a) generally, in relation to disposals of any description specified in the consent; or (b) in relation to a particular disposal. (3) In providing, in exercise of their powers under subsection (1) above, for the disposal of any shares in or other securities of any subsidiary of theirs, the Group may, with the consent of the Secretary of State, provide for employees’ share schemes to be established in respect of that subsidiary; and any such scheme may provide for the transfer of shares without consideration.

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.
