Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

6 Continuation of tenant’s entitlement to buy holding.

(1) Where relevant property is disposed of by the Secretary of State under this Act, section 6(3) and (4) of the Land Settlement (Scotland) Act 1919 shall apply to the tenant of that property as if for the references to “the Board” or, as the case may be, “the Secretary of State” there were substituted references to the body to whom the Secretary of State disposes of the relevant property and any successor in title to such body. (2) A tenant’s period of occupation shall continue to run for the purposes of section 6(3) of the Land Settlement (Scotland) Act 1919 notwithstanding that the relevant property has been disposed of by the Secretary of State to a body under this Act or to any successor in title. (3) In this section “relevant property” means property to which section 6(3) of the Land Settlement (Scotland) Act 1919 applies.

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.
