Propose a change

Marriage (Scotland) Act 1977

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

3C Declaration to accompany information and evidence

Where the marriage notice is accompanied by— (a) information provided in accordance with section 3A, and (b) information and evidence provided in accordance with section 3B, that information and evidence shall also be accompanied by a declaration in writing and signed by the party who makes it that the party believes all of the information and evidence accompanying the notice to be true.

Your change, as a redline

3C Declaration to accompany information and evidence

Where the marriage notice is accompanied by— (a) information provided in accordance with section 3A, and (b) information and evidence provided in accordance with section 3B, that information and evidence shall also be accompanied by a declaration in writing and signed by the party who makes it that the party believes all of the information and evidence accompanying the notice to be true.

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.
