Planning and Compensation Act 1991
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
72 Home loss payments: spouses having statutory occupancy rights.
After section 27 of the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1973 there is inserted— Spouses having statutory occupancy rights. 27A (1) This section applies where, by reason of the entitlement of one spouse (“A”) to occupy a dwelling by virtue of an interest or right to which section 27 above applies, the other spouse (“B”) acquires occupancy rights (within the meaning of the Matrimonial Homes (Family Protection) (Scotland) Act 1981). (2) So long as— (a) those occupancy rights continue; (b) B is in occupation of the dwelling and A is not; and (c) B is not, apart from this section, treated as occupying the dwelling by virtue of an interest or right to which that section applies, B shall be treated for the purposes of that section as occupying the dwelling by virtue of such an interest (but not an owner’s interest within the meaning of section 28 below). (3) References in this section to a dwelling include a reference to a substantial part of it.

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.
