Executors (Scotland) Act 1900
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
7 Where confirmation ad non executa may be granted.
Where any confirmation has become inoperative by the death or incapacity of all the executors in whose favour it has been granted, no title to intromit with the estate confirmed therein shall, otherwise than in the circumstances and to the extent authorised by the preceding section, transmit to the representatives of any such executors whatever may be the extent of their beneficial interest therein, but it shall be competent to grant confirmation ad non executa to any estate contained in the original confirmation which may remain unuplifted or untransferred to the persons entitled thereto, and such confirmation ad non executa shall be granted to the same persons and according to the same rules as confirmations ad omissa are at present granted, and shall be a sufficient title to continue and complete the administration of the estate contained therein, and it shall be competent to specify such confirmation as a midcouple or link of title for the purposes of any deduction of title in relation to such estate from the former executors provided always that nothing herein contained shall be held to affect the rights and preferences at present conferred by confirmation on executors creditors.

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.
