Propose a change

Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972 (repealed 27.5.1997)

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.

What to do with it
As published

220 Orders under s. 219.

(2) Before making an order under subsection (4) or subsection (5) of section 219 of this Act, the Ministers proposing to make the order— (a) shall afford to the statutory undertakers on whom notice was served under subsection (1) of that section an opportunity of objecting to the application for, or proposal to make, the order; and (b) if any objection is made, shall cause an inquiry to be held, and may then, if they think fit, make the order in accordance with the application or in accordance with the draft order, as the case may be, either with or without modification. (3) Where an order is made under section 219 of this Act— (a) any right to which the order relates shall be extinguished at the end of the period specified in that behalf in the order; and (b) if, at the end of the period so specified in relation to any apparatus, any requirement of the order as to the removal of the apparatus has not been complied with, the acquiring or appropriating authority may remove the apparatus and dispose of it in any way the authority may think fit.

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.

Think it through

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.
