Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995
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
9C Presumption as to authentication of electronic documents
(1) Where— (a) an electronic document bears to have been authenticated by the granter, (b) nothing in the document or in the authentication indicates that it was not so authenticated, and (c) the conditions set out in subsection (2) are satisfied, the document is to be presumed to have been authenticated by the granter. (2) The conditions are that the electronic signature incorporated into, or logically associated with, the document— (a) is of such type and satisfies such requirements as may be prescribed by the Scottish Ministers in regulations, and (b) (either or both)— (i) is used in such circumstances as may be so prescribed, (ii) bears to be certified, and that if the electronic signature bears to be certified (and does not conform with paragraph (b)(i)) the certification is of such type and satisfies such requirements as may be so prescribed. (3) Regulations under subsection (2) are subject to the negative procedure.

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.
