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
27B Power to make determinations in relation to persons transferred to Scotland
(1) Where a person is serving a sentence in respect of which the person has been or is to be transferred to Scotland under the Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984, the Scottish Ministers may determine— (a) where the person was convicted of the offence in respect of which the person is serving the sentence when the person was under the age of 18, that the person is to be treated for the purposes of section 7 as if the person had been detained under section 208 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995, and (b) where subsection (2) applies, that the person is to be treated for the purposes of section 1(1) or, as the case may be, section 7(1)(a) as if the sentence was passed in respect of an offence listed in section 1(1ZA) or, as the case may be, section 7(1ZB). (2) This subsection applies where the act, omission or behaviour which led to the conviction for which the person is serving the sentence would have constituted an offence listed in section 1(1ZA) or, as the case may be, section 7(1ZB) if it had taken place in Scotland. (3) The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make further provision about or in connection with the making of a determination under subsection (1)(a) or (b). (4) Regulations under subsection (3)— (a) may include incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision, (b) may make different provision for different purposes, (c) are subject to the affirmative procedure.

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.
