Family Law (Scotland) Act 1985
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
25 Presumption of equal shares in household goods.
(1) If any question arises (whether during or after a marriage or civil partnership) as to the respective rights of ownership of the parties to a marriage or the partners in a civil partnership in any household goods obtained in prospect of or during the marriage or civil partnership other than by gift or succession from a third party, it shall be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, that each has a right to an equal share in the goods in question. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1) above, the contrary shall not be treated as proved by reason only that while (a) the parties were married (b) the partners were in civil partnership, and living together the goods in question were purchased from a third party by either party alone or by both in unequal shares. (3) In this section “household goods” means any goods (including decorative or ornamental goods) kept or used at any time during the marriage or civil partnership in any family home for the joint domestic purposes of the parties to the marriage or the partners, other than— (a) money or securities; (b) any motor car, caravan or other road vehicle; (c) any domestic animal.

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.
