Propose a change

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

What to do with it
As published

56 Intimation of local authority notices etc. affecting listed buildings.

(1) Where, as respects a listed building owned, leased or occupied by a local authority, the authority— (a) have, under or by virtue of any enactment, served a notice requiring any person to show why the building should not conform to the building regulations, (b) have, under or by virtue of any enactment, served a notice or made an order requiring the demolition of, or the carrying out of works affecting, the building, or (c) propose (whether under or by virtue of any enactment or otherwise) to carry out emergency works or demolitions affecting the building, they shall forthwith give written intimation of the notice, order or proposal to the Secretary of State. (2) Where the safety of the public requires that any demolition or works be carried out without such delay as would result from compliance with subsection (1), the intimation (which may, in such a case, initially be oral) shall be given as long before the commencement of the demolition or works as is consistent with that requirement.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
