Heritable Securities (Scotland) Act 1894
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.

(4) The creditor must not make an application under section 5(1) to which section 5A applies if the debtor is taking steps which are likely to result in— (a) the payment to the creditor within a reasonable time of any arrears, or the whole amount, due to the creditor under the security, and (b) fulfilment by the debtor within a reasonable time of any other obligation under the security in respect of which the debtor is in default.

(9) A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (8) above is not to be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by resolution of, the Scottish Parliament.

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.
