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
40 Power of Commission to require return of number of deer killed.
(1) SNH may, for the purposes of any of its deer functions, by notice served on the owner or occupier of any land require him to make a return, in such form as SNH may require, showing the number of deer of each species and of each sex which to his knowledge have been taken or killed on the land. (2) A notice served under subsection (1) above shall— (a) be in writing; (b) specify a period, immediately preceding the date of service of the notice, for which the return must be completed. (2A) For the purposes of subsection (2) above, a notice may be by electronic communication (as defined in section 15(1) of the Electronic Communications Act 2000 (c. 7)), which has been recorded and is consequently capable of being reproduced. (2B) A notice may be served on a person by such an electronic communication only if— (a) the person consents in writing to the receipt of a notice of the kind in question from the sender by electronic communication sent to a specified number or address, and (b) the communication is sent to the number or address in question. (3) A period specified by virtue of subsection (2)(b) above shall not exceed five years. (4) Any person on whom a notice under subsection (1) above has been served who— (a) fails without reasonable cause to make the required return within thirty-six days after the service of the notice; or (b) in making the return knowingly or recklessly furnishes any information which is false in a material particular, shall be guilty of an 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.
