Scotland Act 2012
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
12 The Scottish Government
(1) The Scottish Executive is renamed the Scottish Government. (2) Accordingly, in the 1998 Act— (a) for “Scottish Executive” in each place substitute “ Scottish Government ”; (b) in the heading to section 81 and the italic cross-heading preceding it, for “Executive” substitute “ Government ”. (3) Subsection (2) does not apply to section 31(1) of the 1998 Act (as to which, see section 6 of this Act). (4) Unless the context requires otherwise, any reference to the Scottish Executive in any enactment, instrument or other document made before the date on which this section comes into force (except the enactments mentioned in subsections (2) and (3)) is to be read as a reference to the Scottish Government.

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.
