Execution of Diligence (Scotland) Act 1926
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
3 Authorisation by sheriff to do diligence in certain cases.
Where an extract decree or warrant granted by any court in Scotland is presented to the sheriff within whose jurisdiction such decree or warrant requires to be executed, and the sheriff is satisfied that no messenger-at-arms or sheriff officer is reasonably available to execute such decree or warrant, the sheriff may, if he shall think fit, grant authority to any person whom he may deem suitable (but not including the solicitor of the party presenting the extract decree or warrant) to execute such decree or warrant, and the person so authorised shall as regards any diligence or execution competent on such decree or warrant have all the powers of a messenger-at-arms or sheriff officer.

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.
