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.

3 Temporary listing: building preservation notices.
(1) If it appears to a planning authority that a building in their district which is not a listed building—
(a) is of special architectural or historic interest, and
(b) is in danger of demolition or of alteration in such a way as to affect its character as a building of such interest,
they may serve on the owner, lessee and occupier of the building a notice (in this Act referred to as a “building preservation notice”).
(2) A building preservation notice shall—
(a) state that the building appears to the planning authority to be of special architectural or historic interest and that they have requested Historic Environment Scotland to consider including it in a list compiled or approved under section 1, and
(b) explain the effect of subsections (3) to (5) and Schedule 2.
(3) A building preservation notice—
(a) shall come into force as soon as it has been served on the owner, lessee and occupier of the building to which it relates, and
(b) subject to subsection (4), shall remain in force for 6 months from the date when it is served or, as the case may be, last served.
(4) A building preservation notice shall cease to be in force if Historic Environment Scotland —
(a) includes the building in a list compiled or approved under section 1, or
(b) notifies the planning authority in writing that it does not intend to do so.
(5) While a building preservation notice is in force with respect to a building, the provisions of this Act (other than section 53) and the principal Act shall have effect in relation to the building as if it were a listed building.
(6) If, following the service of a building preservation notice, Historic Environment Scotland notifies the planning authority that it does not propose to include the building in a list compiled or approved under section 1, the authority—
(a) shall immediately give notice of Historic Environment Scotland's decision to the owner, lessee and occupier of the building, and
(b) shall not, within the period of 12 months beginning with the date of Historic Environment Scotland's notification, serve another building preservation notice in respect of the building.

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.
