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
As published
53 Provision as to supply to tents, vans, sheds, etc.
(1) No person shall be entitled to demand or to continue to receive from Scottish Water a supply of water to any habitation to which this subsection applies unless he has—
(a) agreed with Scottish Water to take a supply of water by meter and to pay to it such minimum annual sum as will give it a reasonable return on the capital expenditure incurred by it in providing the required supply and will cover other standing charges incurred by it in order to meet the possible maximum demand for his habitation, and will yield a reasonable return on the cost of the water supplied; and
(b) secured to the reasonable satisfaction of Scottish Water by way of deposit or otherwise, payment of such a sum as may be reasonable having regard to his possible maximum demand for water.
The annual sum to be so paid and the security to be so given shall be determined, in default of agreement, by the sheriff, whose decision shall be final.
(2) The habitations to which subsection (1) applies are tents, vans or other conveyances, whether on wheels or not, and sheds or similar structures.

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.
