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
46 Protection and maintenance of rights of way.
(1) It shall be the duty of a local planning authority to assert, protect and keep open and free from obstruction or encroachment any public right of way which is wholly or partly within their area, and they may for these purposes institute and defend legal proceedings and generally take such steps as they may deem expedient. (2) A local planning authority may repair and maintain any public right of way (not being a public road or a footway) within their area, but this power shall not relieve any other authority or person from any liability with respect to such repair or maintenance. (3) Any person may with the consent of the local planning authority erect and maintain guide posts and direction notices on any public right of way other than a public road. (4) Section 42 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1894 is hereby repealed (5) The references in subsections (1) to (3) above to planning authorities shall be construed as references to planning authorities which carry out district planning functions; and in this subsection “district planning functions” has the same meaning as in Part IX of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.

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.
