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
As published
25 Compensation where listed building consent revoked or modified.
(1) This section shall have effect where listed building consent is revoked or modified by an order under section 21 (other than an order which takes effect by virtue of section 23).
(2) If, on a claim made to the planning authority within the prescribed time and in the prescribed manner, it is shown that a person interested in the building—
(a) has incurred expenditure in carrying out works which are rendered abortive by the revocation or modification, or
(b) has otherwise sustained loss or damage which is directly attributable to the revocation or modification,
the authority shall pay to that person compensation in respect of that expenditure, loss or damage.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), no compensation shall be paid under this section in respect of—
(a) any works carried out before the grant of the listed building consent which is revoked or modified, or
(b) any other loss or damage (not being loss or damage consisting of depreciation of the value of an interest in land) arising out of anything done or omitted to be done before the grant of that consent.
(4) For the purposes of this section, expenditure incurred in the preparation of plans for the purposes of any works, or upon other similar matters preparatory to any works, shall be taken to be included in the expenditure incurred in carrying out those works.

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.
