What to do with it
As published

84 Compilation and maintenance of valuation lists.

(1) In accordance with this Part, the local assessor for each . . . council shall compile, and then maintain, a list for that council (to be known as the “valuation list”). (2) A valuation list must show, for each day for which it is in force— (a) each dwelling which is situated in the . . . council’s area; and (b) which of the valuation bands mentioned in section 74(2) above is applicable to the dwelling. (3) A list must also contain such information about dwellings shown in it as may be prescribed. (4) The omission from a list of any matter required to be included in it shall not of itself render the list invalid, so far as any other matter contained in it is concerned. (5) Any rules as to Crown exemption which would have applied apart from this subsection shall not prevent a list showing a dwelling, showing the valuation band applicable to a dwelling and containing any prescribed information about a dwelling. (6) A list must be compiled on 1st April 1993 and shall come into force on that day. (7) Before a list is compiled the local assessor must take such steps as are reasonably practicable in the time available to ensure that it is accurately compiled on 1st April 1993. (8) Any valuation of a dwelling carried out by the local assessor in pursuance of subsection (7) above shall be carried out in accordance with section 86(2) below. (9) The local assessor shall maintain the valuation list for so long as is necessary for the purposes of this Part. (10) In this Part “local assessor” means the assessor appointed under section 27 (appointment of assessors) of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 for each valuation area; and any depute assessor appointed under that section shall have all the functions of a local assessor under this Part.

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.

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.
