Pension Schemes Act 2015
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
63 Provision about calculation of lump sums: Northern Ireland
(1) The Department for Social Development in Northern Ireland may by regulations make provision about the calculation of lump sums in circumstances where— (a) a member of an occupational pension scheme, or a survivor of a member of the scheme, has subsisting rights in respect of any flexible benefits other than money purchase benefits under the scheme, and (b) the member or survivor exercises an option to be paid a lump sum in respect of any of those benefits. (2) Regulations under subsection (1) may, in particular, make provision about how the rate or amount of any remaining benefits are to be calculated in future. (3) In a case where a member or survivor exercises an option to be paid a lump sum before reaching normal pension age, regulations under subsection (1) may in particular make provision about— (a) the manner in which benefits are to be calculated for the purpose of determining the amount available for the payment of the lump sum; (b) the use of any power to reduce the amount of the lump sum. (4) Regulations made under this section may include provision for them to override the provisions of a pension scheme to the extent that there is a conflict.

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.
