(2) In considering whether to make an order under section 23 or 23A in respect of any property, a court shall have regard to— (a) the value of the property, and (b) the likely financial and other effects on the convicted person of the making of the order (taken together with any other order that the court contemplates making). (3) A court in Scotland must not make an order under section 23 or 23A except on the application of the prosecutor— (a) in proceedings on indictment, when the prosecutor moves for sentence, and (b) in summary proceedings, before the court sentences the accused; and for the purposes of any appeal or review, an order under either of those sections made by a court in Scotland is a sentence.

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.

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.
