Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997
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
16 Limit of duration of listed building consent.
(1) A listed building consent lapses— (a) on the expiration of such period (beginning with the date on which the consent is granted) as the planning authority may, for the purposes of this section, specify in the consent, or (b) if no period is so specified, on the expiration of a period of 3 years (beginning with that date), unless the works permitted by the consent are begun before that expiration. (1A) Subsection (1) does not apply to a listed building consent granted before the date on which section 20 of the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 came into force. (2) For the purposes of sections 18(1)(a) and 19(1) and (2)(a)— (a) any such specification as is mentioned in subsection (1)(a), or (b) the effect of subsection (1) as that subsection applies in consequence of the authority electing not to make such a specification, is to be treated as a condition subject to which the application is granted. (3) Nothing in this section applies to any consent to the retention of works granted under section 7(3). (4) The date of the granting or of the refusal of an application for listed building consent shall be the date on which the notice of the planning authority’s decision bears to have been signed on behalf of the authority.

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.
