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
20B The conversion conditions
(1) This section specifies the conditions referred to in sections 9(1A) and 13(1A) (for exemption from the requirement to guarantee a minimum pension).
(2) Condition 1 is that the post-conversion benefits (disregarding money purchase benefits) must be actuarially at least equivalent to the pre-conversion benefits (disregarding money purchase benefits) .
(3) Condition 2 is that if the earner P was entitled immediately before the conversion date to the payment of a pension under the scheme, the converted scheme does not provide for a reduction of, or have the effect of reducing, the amount of that pension immediately after conversion.
(4) Condition 3 is that the post-conversion benefits must not include money purchase benefits, apart from any money purchase benefits provided under the scheme immediately before the conversion date.
(5) Condition 4 is that the converted scheme provides survivors' benefits in accordance with section 20D in such circumstances, and during such periods, as are prescribed by regulations.
Condition 4 is that, in the case of a GMP conversion within section 20A(1)(b)(i) (GMP conversion in relation to earner)—

(b) such conditions as may be prescribed are met in relation to those benefits.
(6) Condition 5 is that the procedural requirements of section 20E have been complied with.
(7) In applying these conditions to a scheme in respect of an earner—
(a) it is immaterial whether or not on the conversion date the scheme was also converted in respect of other earners in relation to persons other than P , and
(b) it is immaterial (except for Condition 2) whether or not on the conversion date the earner P was entitled to the payment of a pension under the scheme.

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.
