Crofters Holdings (Scotland) Act 1887
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
2 Stay of proceedings for sale of crofter’s effects.
Any crofter who has made or shall make an application to the Crofters Commission to fix a fair rent for his holding, and against whom legal proceedings have been taken for payment of rent, may apply, under the same or any subsequent application, to the Crofters Commission for an order prohibiting the sale of the landholder’s effects upon the said holding by virtue of any decree for payment of such rent; and the Crofters Commission, if satisfied that such sale would have the effect of defeating in the case of such landholder the intention of the principal Act, may, upon such terms as to payment of rent or otherwise as they shall think fit, grant an order prohibiting such sale till the application to fix a fair rent has been finally determined. Any application under this section shall be made . . . at any time before the expiration of theinduciæ in the action. The Crofters Commission shall consider and determine applications under this section summarily . . . The powers conferred by this Act are in addition to those contained in subsection four of section six of the principal Act, and where any landholder has, subsequent to the Crofters Holdings (Scotland) Act, 1886, coming into operation, granted a bill or promissory note at the request of his landlord for arrears of rent, the Crofters Commission shall not be precluded from dealing with such arrears under the said Act; and where any landholders shall have been called on to pay, and shall have paid, to the holder of such bill or note any larger sum than the Crofters Commission shall hold ought to be paid of such arrears, they may give relief by ordering repayment of such excess by the landlord, or authorise the deduction thereof from future rents in such instalments as they may fix.

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.
