Propose a change

Land Drainage (Scotland) Act 1941 (repealed)

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

What to do with it
As published

6 Works below high-water mark.

Nothing in this Act shall authorise the execution of any works on, over or under tidal lands below high-water mark of ordinary spring tides, or the using thereof for any purposes (including the deposit thereon of shingle, sand, clay, stones or other matter) except in accordance with such plans and sections and subject to such restrictions and regulations as, previous to such works being commenced, have been approved by the Secretary of State in writing under the hand of a secretary or some person authorised by the Secretary of State to act in that behalf.

Your change, as a redline

6 Works below high-water mark.

Nothing in this Act shall authorise the execution of any works on, over or under tidal lands below high-water mark of ordinary spring tides, or the using thereof for any purposes (including the deposit thereon of shingle, sand, clay, stones or other matter) except in accordance with such plans and sections and subject to such restrictions and regulations as, previous to such works being commenced, have been approved by the Secretary of State in writing under the hand of a secretary or some person authorised by the Secretary of State to act in that behalf.

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.
