Propose a change

The Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020 (Consequential Provisions and Modifications) Order 2025

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

9 Duty to provide information in response to section 49(2) request

(1) The chief officer of a UK law-enforcement body must, as soon as practicable after receiving it, comply with a request made under section 49(2) of the Disclosure Act (which allows information to be requested for the purpose of determining whether a person is suitable to have access to disclosure information). (2) A chief officer must not provide information in accordance with this article if the chief officer thinks that disclosing the information would be contrary to the interests of the prevention or detection of crime.

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.
