Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Act 2004
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
3 Accrued rights
(1) The power of the Secretary of State to modify an armed forces pension scheme may not on any occasion be exercised in any manner which would or might adversely affect any entitlement, accrued rights or pension credit rights of any member of the scheme acquired before the power is exercised unless— (a) the consent requirements are satisfied in respect of the exercise of the power on that occasion in that manner, or (b) the scheme is modified in the prescribed manner. (2) The consent requirements are those prescribed for the purpose of obtaining the consent of members of the scheme to its modification. (3) In this section— “prescribed” means prescribed by an order under section 1, “accrued rights”, “entitlement”, “member” and “pension credit rights” have the same meanings as in Part 1 of the Pensions Act 1995 (c. 26).

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
