Propose a change

Highlands and Islands Development (Scotland) Act 1965 (repealed 20.7.1992)

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

14 Approval by Secretary of State and the Treasury.

(1) Any approval or consent required by this Act may be given in relation to a specific act of the Board or in relation to all acts of a class or description specified in the approval or consent, and may be given subject to such conditions as may be so specified. (2) Before granting approval to any development by the Board for which planning permission from a local planning authority or the Secretary of State, on an application in that behalf made to the local planning authority, would otherwise be required, the Secretary of State shall consult the local planning authority concerned, and any approval so granted shall have effect, and the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972 shall apply, as if it were planning permission granted by the Secretary of State under section 32 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972, and as if any conditions to which the approval is subject, being conditions which could have been imposed by the Secretary of State under the said section 32, were conditions of that planning permission. In this subsection “development”, “local planning authority” and “planning permission”, have the meanings respectively assigned to them by the said Act of 1972.

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.
