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Highlands and Islands Development (Scotland) Act 1965 (repealed 20.7.1992)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

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

9 Ancillary powers of the Board.

(1) The Board shall have power— (a) to make such charges for any of their services as they think fit; (b) to accept any gift made to them for the purposes of any of their functions, and, subject to the terms of the gift and to the provisions of this Act, to apply it for those purposes; (c) to carry out or commission the carrying out of such enquiries, investigations or researches as the Board may deem necessary or expedient for the purposes of their functions; (d) to do all such things as are incidental to, or conducive to the attainment of the purposes of, any of their functions. (2) For the purpose of the exercise of any of their functions the Board may, with the consent of the Secretary of State and the Treasury, borrow money.

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.
