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.

As published
74 Effect of allocation
(1) If an allocation election takes effect, the member’s retirement pension is reduced accordingly.
(2) If a notice of allocation takes effect, it does so on the day on which the retirement pension comes into payment.
(3) Where a notice of allocation has taken effect, and the beneficiary survives the pensioner, the scheme manager must, from the date of the pensioner’s death, pay the beneficiary a pension for life (“allocated pension”) of an amount determined by the scheme manager in accordance with actuarial guidance in force when the notice of allocation takes effect, having regard to—
(a) the amount of retirement pension allocated under the election; and
(b) the age of the pensioner and beneficiary at the date when the notice of allocation was given.
(4) Where more than one portion of a member’s retirement pension has been allocated, a separate calculation must be made under paragraph (3) in respect of each allocation.
(5) Where—
(a) a notice of allocation has taken effect; and
(b) the beneficiary pre-deceases the pensioner,
the scheme manager must pay to the pensioner (distinguishing it from any other pension payable to that pensioner) the portion of pension that had been allocated (“the failed allocation pension”).
(6) Where paragraph (5) applies, the pensioner is not entitled to recover from the scheme manager the amount of any deduction made in respect of the failed allocation pension.
(7) An allocation ceases to have effect for the purposes of this regulation if it would result in a pension being paid under this regulation to a beneficiary who is neither—
(a) the member’s spouse or civil partner or cohabiting partner on—
(i) the date on which the member becomes entitled to the pension, or
(ii) when the member dies; nor
(b) a dependant of the member for the purposes of paragraph 15(2) or (3) of Schedule 28 to FA 2004 when the member dies.

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.
