Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999
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
29 Creation of pension debits and credits.
(1) On the application of this section— (a) the transferor’s shareable rights under the relevant arrangement become subject to a debit of the appropriate amount, and (b) the transferee becomes entitled to a credit of that amount as against the person responsible for that arrangement. (2) Where the relevant order or provision specifies a percentage value to be transferred, the appropriate amount for the purposes of subsection (1) is the specified percentage of the cash equivalent of the relevant benefits on the valuation day. (3) Where the relevant order or provision specifies an amount to be transferred, the appropriate amount for the purposes of subsection (1) is the lesser of— (a) the specified amount, and (b) the cash equivalent of the relevant benefits on the valuation day. (4) Where the relevant arrangement is an occupational pension scheme and the transferor is in pensionable service under the scheme on the transfer day, the relevant benefits for the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) are the benefits or future benefits to which he would be entitled under the scheme by virtue of his shareable rights under it had his pensionable service terminated immediately before that day. (5) Otherwise, the relevant benefits for the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) are the benefits or future benefits to which, immediately before the transfer day, the transferor is entitled under the terms of the relevant arrangement by virtue of his shareable rights under it. (6) The Secretary of State may by regulations provide for any description of benefit to be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (4) or (5). (7) For the purposes of this section, the valuation day is such day within the implementation period for the credit under subsection (1)(b) as the person responsible for the relevant arrangement may specify by notice in writing to the transferor and transferee. (8) In this section— “relevant arrangement” means the arrangement to which the relevant order or provision relates; “relevant order or provision” means the order or provision by virtue of which this section applies; “transfer day” means the day on which the relevant order or provision takes effect; “transferor” means the person to whose rights the relevant order or provision relates; “transferee” means the person for whose benefit the relevant order or provision is made.

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.
