Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967
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
41 Ferries for purposes of long-distance routes.
(1) Where approved proposals relating to a long-distance route include proposals for the provision and operation of a ferry, the authority who are responsible for the maintenance of the roads or public paths to be connected by the ferry or, where there is more than one such authority, those authorities acting jointly or any such authority as may mutually be agreed— (a) shall have power to provide and operate the ferry and to carry out such work and do all such things as appear to them expedient for the purpose of operating the ferry; (b) may . . . agree with any person or body of persons for the provision and operation of the ferry by him or them and for the making by the authority of such contributions as may be specified in the agreement: Provided that nothing in this subsection shall— (i) be construed as conferring on such an authority any exclusive right to operate a ferry; (ii) authorise the doing of anything which apart from this subsection would be actionable by any person by virtue of his having an exclusive right to operate a ferry, unless he consents to the doing thereof; (iii) authorise the doing of anything in relation to land in which any other person has an interest, if apart from this subsection the doing thereof would be actionable at his instance by virtue of that interest and he does not consent to the doing thereof; and before carrying out any work in the exercise of powers conferred by this subsection, being work on the bank or bed of any waterway, the authority shall consult with every authority which under any enactment has functions relating to the waterway.

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.
