Propose a change

Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014

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

73 Discharge of securities: other property in Scotland

(1) This section applies to property other than land that is held in security by a registered society in Scotland. (2) A receipt in Form F in Part 2 of Schedule 2 (or as nearly as may be in that form)— (a) discharges the security, and (b) vests the property comprised in it in the person entitled to it at the date the receipt is granted without the necessity of any further deed. (3) But where the original security was intimated to any person, a receipt has the effect mentioned in subsection (2) only when it is duly intimated to that person. (4) The fee payable in respect of the registration of the receipt may not exceed 25 pence. (5) In this section— “a receipt”, in relation to any security, means a receipt for all moneys advanced by the society on the security of the property comprised in the security; “deed” has the meaning given by the Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1924.

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.
