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

(1) The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make provision requiring lands and heritages falling within subsection (2) to be entered in the valuation roll. (2) Land and heritages fall within this subsection if they are not entered in the valuation roll by virtue of an enactment, other than Part 2 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, providing for them not to be so entered. (3) Before— (a) laying a draft of a Scottish statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (1) to which subsection (5) applies before the Scottish Parliament, or (b) making regulations under subsection (1) to which subsection (6) applies, the Scottish Ministers must consult such persons as they consider appropriate. (4) Regulations under subsection (1) may— (a) make incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision, (b) make different provision for different purposes, (c) modify any enactment (including this Act). (5) Regulations under this section that add to, replace or omit any part of the text of an Act are subject to the affirmative procedure. (6) Otherwise, regulations under this section are subject to the negative procedure. (7) In this section, “enactment” includes an Act of the Scottish Parliament and an instrument made under such an Act.

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.
