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
21 Co-operation between authorities.
(1) Where it appears to a local authority that an appropriate person could, by doing certain things, help in the exercise of any of their functions under this Part of this Act, they may, specifying what those things are, request the help of that person.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1) above, persons who are appropriate are—
(a) any other local authority;
(b) a health board constituted under section 2 of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978;
(c) a national health service trust established under section 12A of that Act; and
(d) any person authorised by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this section;
and an appropriate person receiving such a request shall comply with it provided that it is compatible with their own statutory or other duties and obligations and (in the case of a person not a natural person) does not unduly prejudice the discharge of any of their functions.

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.
