Dormant Assets Act 2022
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
6 “Eligible pension benefits”
(1) In this Act “eligible pension benefits” means (subject to subsection (2)) any of the following amounts— (a) benefits in the form of income withdrawal that have become payable under a personal pension scheme, (b) benefits that have become payable under a personal pension scheme— (i) under which all benefits that may be provided are money purchase benefits, and (ii) which is not and has at no time been a qualifying scheme or an automatic enrolment scheme in relation to the member to or in respect of whom the benefits are payable, or (c) an amount available to be paid as benefits under a personal pension scheme of a kind mentioned in paragraph (b), after the appropriate adjustments have been made for such things as interest due and fees and charges payable. (2) Benefits under a personal pension scheme are excluded from being eligible pension benefits if (or to the extent that) they are provided from sums invested in a with-profits fund. (3) In subsection (1)(c) the reference to an amount available to be paid is to an amount which, if a person so elected, would immediately become payable to that person. (4) In relation to a time after a transfer has been made as mentioned in section 5(1)(a), the adjustments referred to in subsection (1) above include those that would fall to be made but for the transfer. (5) In this section— (a) “automatic enrolment scheme”, “money purchase benefits”, “personal pension scheme” and “qualifying scheme” have the meanings given by section 99 of the Pensions Act 2008; (b) “income withdrawal” has the same meaning as in paragraph 7 of Schedule 28 to the Finance Act 2004; (c) “with-profits fund” has the same meaning as it has in the FCA Handbook as in force when this Act is passed.

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.
