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
As published
19 Evidence of disqualification in Scotland.
(1)In any proceedings in Scotland for an offence under section 103(1)(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (driving while disqualified) a conviction or extract conviction—
(a) of which a copy has been served on the accused not less than fourteen days before his trial,
(b) which purports to be signed by the clerk of court, and
(c) which shows that the person named in it is disqualified for holding or obtaining a licence,
shall be sufficient evidence of the application of that disqualification to the accused, unless not more than seven days after the date of service of the copy he serves notice on the prosecutor that he denies that it applies to him.
(2) A copy of a conviction or extract conviction served on the accused under subsection (1) above shall be served in such manner as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal, and a written execution purporting to be signed by the person who served such copy conviction or extract conviction together with, where appropriate, the relevant post office receipt shall be sufficient evidence of service of such a copy.

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.
