The Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (England) Regulations 2014
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
As published
172 Forfeiture of pensions: offences committed by other persons
(1) If a person (“P”) is convicted of the murder of a member, the scheme manager must withhold all of any surviving partner or eligible child’s pension otherwise payable to P in respect of the member under Part 6 (death benefits).
(2) If P is convicted of a relevant offence, the scheme manager may, to such extent as it considers appropriate, withhold any surviving partner or eligible child’s pension payable to P in respect of a member under Part 6 (death benefits).
(3) If paragraph (1) applies, Part 6 (death benefits) applies as if P had died before the member.
(4) Under paragraph (2), the scheme manager may only withhold such part of P’s pension as exceeds any guaranteed minimum to which P is entitled under section 17 of PSA 1993.
(5) If P is convicted of the murder of a member and the conviction is subsequently quashed on appeal, any surviving partner or eligible child’s pension withheld is to be payable from the day after that on which the member died, and the scheme manager must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the conviction is quashed, pay the arrears of the pension accrued.
(6) If P is convicted of a relevant offence and the conviction is subsequently quashed on appeal any decision under paragraph (2) is to be treated as revoked and the scheme manager must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the conviction is quashed, pay the arrears of the pension accrued from the day after that on which the member died.
(7) Nothing in paragraphs (5) or (6) is to affect the application of paragraphs (1) or (2) if the person whose conviction is quashed is subsequently convicted of the murder of the member or of a relevant offence.
(8) In this regulation, relevant offence means—
(a) the manslaughter of the member; or
(b) any other offence, apart from murder, of which the unlawful killing of the member is an element.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
