Land Compensation (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.

(1) Notwithstanding the repeal of the Land Compensation Act 1973, in so far as anything done under that Act could have been done under a corresponding provision in this Act, it shall have effect as if done under that provision. (2) Notwithstanding the repeal of the said Act, section 3 of that Act (claims) shall have effect in relation to offences committed thereunder before the passing of this Act. (3) The inclusion in this section of any express savings shall not be taken as prejudicing the operation of sections 16(1) and 17(2)(a) of the Interpretation Act 1978 (which relates to the effect of repeals). (4) Section 44 above does not affect any compensation which fell or falls to be assessed by reference to prices current on a date before 23rd May 1973, and the other provisions of Part IV of this Act relating to the assessment of compensation do not affect any compensation which fell or falls to be assessed by reference to prices current on a date before 17th October 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.
