Propose a change

Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973

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.

As published

7A Saving for other statutory provisions about prescription or limitation

(1) Sections 6 and 7 of this Act do not apply to an obligation if, and so far as, an enactment other than this Act makes provision to the effect that— (a) the obligation is imprescriptible, (b) the obligation is extinguished after a specified period of time, or (c) the making of a claim or the bringing of proceedings in respect of the obligation— (i) is not subject to any period of limitation, or (ii) may be done only within a specified period of time. (2) In this section— “enactment” means any enactment whenever passed or made, “specified” means specified in, or determined in accordance with, any enactment other than one contained in this Act.

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.
