Propose a change

Valuation and Rating (Scotland) Act 1956

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

8AA Exemption from valuation and rating of certain moorings.

(1) For the purpose of ascertaining the net annual value of any lands and heritages no account shall be taken of any mooring to which this section applies. (2) This section applies to any mooring— (a) used or intended to be used by a boat or ship; and (b) equipped only with a buoy attached to an anchor weight or other device— (i) which rests on or in the bed of the sea or any river or other waters when in use; and (ii) which is designed to be raised from that bed from time to time.

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.
