Deer (Scotland) Act 1996
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
30 Power of court on trial for one offence to convict of another.
If, upon a trial for an offence under any of sections 5, 17 , 17A(4), 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 or 23 of this Act, or any rule of law relating to reset, the court is— (a) not satisfied that the accused is guilty of the offence charged, but (b) satisfied that he is guilty of another of those offences, it may acquit him of the offence charged but find him guilty of the other offence and he shall then be liable to the same punishment as for that other offence.

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.
