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
3D Parliamentary scrutiny of regulations made under section 3C
(1) Regulations under section 3C are subject to the affirmative procedure, unless subsection (2) applies to them. (2) This subsection applies to regulations if the Scottish statutory instrument containing the regulations includes a declaration that the Scottish Ministers are of the opinion that, by reason of urgency, it is necessary to make the regulations without their being subject to the affirmative procedure. (3) Where subsection (2) applies to regulations— (a) section 30 of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 does not apply to the regulations, (b) the Scottish statutory instrument containing the regulations must be laid before the Scottish Parliament as soon as practicable after they are made, (c) the Scottish Ministers must explain why they are of the opinion that, by reason of urgency, it is necessary to make the regulations without their being subject to the affirmative procedure, and (d) the regulations cease to have effect at the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which they are made unless, during that period, the Scottish statutory instrument containing them is approved by resolution of the Parliament. (4) In calculating the period of 28 days mentioned in subsection (3)(d), no account is to be taken of any time during which the Scottish Parliament is— (a) in recess for more than 4 days, or (b) dissolved. (5) Regulations ceasing to have effect by virtue of subsection (3)(d) neither— (a) affects anything done under the regulations before they ceased to have effect, nor (b) prevents new regulations being made under section 3C.

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.
