Propose a change

Scottish Board of Health Act 1919

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

5 Consultative Councils.

(2) Every such council shall include persons of both sexes, and shall consist of persons having practical experience of the matters referred to the council, and due regard shall be had in constituting them to any special interests (including those of local authorities and of labour) which may be involved.

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.
