Foster Children (Scotland) Act 1984
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
16 Extension of Act to certain school children during holidays.
(1) Where a child below the upper limit of the compulsory school age resides during school holidays in a school to which this section applies, then, if he so resides for a period exceeding one month, the provisions of this Act shall apply in relation to him as if section 2(2)(c) were omitted, but subject to the modifications specified in subsection (2). (2) Where this Act applies to a child by virtue of subsection (1)— (a) subsections (1) to (4) of section 5, sections 6, 9 and 10 and section 17 shall not apply ; but (b) the person undertaking the care and maintenance of children in the school during the school holidays shall, not less than 2 weeks before this Act first applies to a child in that school during those holidays, give written notice to the local authority that children to whom this Act applies will reside in the school during those holidays, and any such notice shall state the estimated number of the children. (3) A local authority may exempt any person from the duty of giving notice under this section; and any such exemption may be granted for a specified period or indefinitely, and may be revoked at any time by notice in writing given to that person. (4) This section applies to any school within the meaning of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 which is not a school maintained by an education authority.

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.
