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Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972 (repealed 27.5.1997)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

As published

97AB Further provision as to rights of entry in relation to listed buildings.

(1) The provisions of this section and of section 97AC of this Act shall apply, in place of the provisions of section 266 of this Act, to rights of entry exercised under section 265 of this Act in relation to listed buildings and listed buildings control. (2) If the sheriff is satisfied— (a) that there are reasonable grounds for entering any land for any of the purposes mentioned in section 265 of this Act; and (b) that— (i) admission to the land has been refused, or a refusal is reasonably apprehended; or (ii) the case is one of urgency, he may issue a warrant authorising any person duly authorised in writing to enter the land. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(b)(i) of this section admission to land shall be regarded as having been refused if no reply is received to a request for admission within a reasonable period. (4) A warrant authorises entry on one occasion only and that entry must be— (a) within one month from the date of the issue of the warrant; and (b) at a reasonable hour, unless the case is one of urgency.

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.
