Local Government (Scotland) Act 1947
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
216 Requisitions by joint committees and joint boards.
Every joint committee or joint board the expenses of which are defrayed in whole or in part by the local authorities concerned shall, notwithstanding anything in any enactment, order or agreement, by such date as may be prescribed, cause a requisition to be sent to each of the authorities concerned requiring the authority to pay to the joint committee or joint board the sum specified in the requisition, being the authority’s proportion of the expenses of the joint committee or joint board; and the authority shall, at such intervals and by such instalments as may be prescribed, pay over to the joint committee or joint board the sum so requisitioned, so far as payable by the authority, without any deduction whatever, so however that the last instalment shall be payable not later than the first day of May in the year first occurring after the date of the requisition, and any provisions contained in any enactment or statutory order inconsistent with this subsection shall cease to have effect. In this section— (a) references to a joint committee or joint board shall be construed as references to a joint committee or joint board all the members of which, other than ex officio members, are appointed by one or more local authorities; (b) “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State under section 111 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.

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.
