Crofters (Scotland) Act 1993
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.

19B Meaning of “owner-occupier crofter” etc.
(1) In this Act, a person is an “owner-occupier crofter” if all the conditions in subsections (2) to (4) are satisfied. (2) The first condition is that the person is the owner of a croft. (3) The second condition is that the person— (a) was the crofter of the croft at the time of acquiring it (or is such a crofter's successor in title); (b) acquired title to the croft as the nominee of a crofter (or is such a nominee's successor in title); or (c) purchased the croft from the constituting landlord (or is such a purchaser's successor in title). (4) The third condition is that the croft has not been let to any person as a crofter either by virtue of section 26J or otherwise— (a) at any time since it was acquired as mentioned in subsection (3)(a) or (b); or (b) at any time since it was constituted as mentioned in subsection (6)(a). (5) In this Act, an “owner-occupied croft” means a croft owned by an owner-occupier crofter; and “owner-occupier's croft” is to be construed accordingly. (6) For the purposes of subsection (3)(c), the “constituting landlord” is— (a) the owner of the land at the time the land was constituted as a croft under section 3A; or (b) such an owner's successor in title immediately before the croft is sold to the purchaser mentioned in subsection (3)(c).

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.
