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
50 Recovery of expenses of works under section 49.
(1) This section has effect for enabling the expenses of works executed under section 49 to be recovered.
(2) The planning authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State may give notice to the owner of the building requiring him to pay the expenses of the works.
(3) Where the works consist of or include works for affording temporary support or shelter for the building—
(a) the expenses which may be recovered include any continuing expenses involved in making available the apparatus or materials used, and
(b) notices under subsection (2) in respect of any such continuing expenses may be given from time to time.
(4) The owner may within 28 days of the service of the notice represent to the Secretary of State—
(a) that some or all of the works were unnecessary for the preservation of the building,
(b) in the case of works for affording temporary support or shelter, that the temporary arrangements have continued for an unreasonable length of time, or
(c) that the amount specified in the notice is unreasonable or that the recovery of it would cause him hardship,
and the Secretary of State shall determine to what extent the representations are justified.
(5) The Secretary of State shall give notice of his determination, the reasons for it and the amount recoverable—
(a) to the owner of the building, and
(b) to the planning authority, if they carried out the works.
(6) Where a person to whom notice has been given under subsection (2) ceases, during the 28 day period mentioned in subsection (4), to be the owner of the building, a person may within 28 days of becoming the new owner of the building represent to the Scottish Ministers a matter mentioned in any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (4); and the Scottish Ministers shall determine to what extent the representations are justified.
(7) Subsection (5) applies to a determination under subsection (6) as it applies to a determination under subsection (4).

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.
