Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993
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
SCHEDULE 1 Consecutive and Concurrent Terms of Imprisonment
Section 1(8). General 1 This Schedule applies as respects the release of a person on whom there has been imposed— (a) a term of imprisonment on conviction of an offence (“his offence term”); and (b) a term of imprisonment or detention mentioned in section 5(1)(a) or (b) of this Act (“his non-offence term”). Consecutive terms of imprisonment 2 (1) Where his offence term and his non-offence term are consecutive, whichever term follows the other shall be taken as beginning on the day after he is released as respects the other term. (2) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above, where his offence term and his non-offence term are imposed on the same date, his non-offence term shall be taken to follow his offence term. Concurrent terms of imprisonment 2A Where his offence term and his non-offence term are wholly or partly concurrent, section 1(1) to (3) of this Act (so far as relevant to the term in question and whether or not modified by section 5(2) of this Act or as read with section 220 of the 1995 Act (reduction of term in certain circumstances)) shall apply separately to each term (that is to say, in particular, he may be released as respects one of the terms even if he is not for the time being eligible for release as respects the other term).

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.
