Propose a change

Sheriff Courts and Legal Officers (Scotland) Act 1927

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.

As published

19 Calendar of confirmations.

It shall be lawful for the Secretary of State by Order to direct that the calendar of confirmations and inventories prepared under section forty-five of the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Act 1876, shall contain, in lieu of the particulars specified in the said section, such particulars as may be prescribed in the Order and that copies of such calendar shall be sent to such persons as may be prescribed in lieu of the persons specified in the said section, and to prescribe the particulars which shall be included in the lists or registers furnished by the sheriff clerk to the commissary clerk in pursuance of the said section.

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.
