Local Government (Scotland) Act 1975
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
10 Collection of rates by housing body on behalf of rating authority.
(1) A rating authority may make arrangements with any housing body within their area on such terms and conditions as may be agreed between them or, failing agreement, as may be determined by the Secretary of State, for the collection by the housing body of the rates levied by the rating authority on the occupiers of lands and heritages let by the housing body; and where such arrangements are made the rates shall be payable to the housing body by instalments along with payments of rent. (2) Where a rating authority wish to make arrangements with a housing body under subsection (1) above but the housing body have not agreed to enter into the arrangements, the Secretary of State may by order, made after consultation with the rating authority and the housing body, provide that the rating authority and the housing body shall make such arrangements in accordance with that subsection. (3) A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (2) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (4) In this section “housing body” means any authority to which section 118 of the Act of 1973 applies, a development corporation or the Scottish Special Housing Assocation.

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.
