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
47 Acquisition of land by agreement.
(1) A planning authority may acquire by agreement— (a) any building appearing to them to be of special architectural or historic interest, and (b) any land comprising or contiguous or adjacent to such a building which appears to them to be required— (i) for preserving the building or its amenities, (ii) for affording access to it, or (iii) for its proper control or management. (2) The enactments mentioned in subsection (3) shall apply in relation to the acquisition of land under subsection (1). (3) Those enactments are— (a) the Lands Clauses Acts (except the provisions relating to the purchase of land otherwise than by agreement and the provisions relating to access to the special Act, and except sections 120 to 125 of the Lands Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1845), and (b) sections 6 and 70 of the Railways Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1845, and sections 71 to 78 of that Act, as originally enacted and not as amended for certain purposes by section 15 of the Mines (Working Facilities and Support) Act 1923. (4) For the purposes of the application of those enactments— (a) this section shall be deemed to be the special Act, and (b) references to the promoters of the undertaking or to the company shall be construed as references to the authority authorised to acquire the land under this 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.
