It proposes that the party sets up a review of the party's structure and examine the relationship between party staff and volunteers.

The motion was published after Electoral Commission filings revealed earlier this month that the Scottish Greens were given a £150,000 loan by the Green Party of England and Wales ahead of the Holyrood election.

It was highlighted by Scottish businesswoman Marie Macklin, who pointed to the loan on social media and said it was not repayable until June 2029.

The Scottish Greens are a separate from the Green Party of England and Wales and they do not traditionally provide loans or financial support to each other.

The Electoral Commission shows the loan was received on April 9 with polling day held on May 7.

The Greens won a record 15 seats at Holyrood, including taking two from the SNP. It won Glasgow Southside seat after former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon stood down at the election and Edinburgh Central ousting former culture and external affairs secretary Angus Robertson.

Holly Bruce was elected as the Scottish Greens MSP for Glasgow Southside, while former party co-leader Lorna Slater was elected to represent Edinburgh Central.

The election also saw Holyrood's first openly transgender MSPs.

Iris Duane and Q Manivannan were elected to Holyrood on the Glasgow and Edinburgh and Lothians East regional lists respectively.

Scottish Greens co-leader Gillian Mackay hailed their election as "historic".

Ms Mackay said at the time: "We're really proud of all our new MSPs, and I can't wait to have Iris and Q in the chamber. Their election is historic and long overdue.

"The last few years have been really difficult for a lot of LGBTQ+ people. Trans people in particular have been targeted and abused as part of a cynical culture war that has been encouraged by other parties and parts of the media.

"It is really important that lived experience is reflected in the laws we pass and the debates we have.This is the biggest and most diverse group of Green MSPs ever to be elected and I'm really looking forward to working with all of them."

"We are part of a movement that is growing across these islands, Europe and globally and are grateful for the support we received from members across the country and from our friends in the Green Party of England and Wales. 

 A Scottish Greens spokesperson said: "We are part of a movement that is growing across these islands, Europe and globally and are grateful for the support we received from members across the country and from our friends in the Green Party of England and Wales.

"We had a record number of supporters donating and giving us what they could afford to.

 "We do not rely on vested interests and billionaire backers like some other parties, and nor do we want to. The Green movement is a people-powered movement and one where we work together.

 "We are a democratic party and any member can propose a motion. Many of our party structures are run by volunteers and members can propose changes to them.

 "We are proud of the record result we secured in May, and the work that our record number of Green MSPs are doing for people and planet."
