Transfer of Crofting Estates (Scotland) Act 1997
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
2 Restrictions on disposal.
(1) The Secretary of State may dispose of crofting property under this Act only to a body, corporate or unincorporated, which has been approved by him, after consultation with the Commission, as a body which— (a) is representative of the crofting interests in the property to be disposed of; and (b) has the promotion of the interests of persons residing on such property as its primary objective. (2) For the purposes of responding to the consultation, the Commission shall have regard to— (a) the general interests of the crofting community in the district in which the property is situated; (b) the views of crofters in that district; and (c) any other matter which they consider to be relevant. (3) In the application of this section to property mentioned in paragraph (b) or (c) of section 1(3)— (a) in each place where it occurs, the word “crofting” shall be omitted; and (b) in paragraph (b) of subsection (2) for the word “crofters” there shall be substituted the word “ tenants ”.

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.
