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.

(1) In this Part— “the 1993 Act” means the Pension Schemes Act 1993; “the 1995 Act” means the Pensions Act 1995; “ the Authority ” means the Pensions Regulator; ... “occupational pension scheme” and “personal pension scheme” have the meanings given by section 1 of the 1993 Act; “pension scheme” means an occupational pension scheme or a personal pension scheme; “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State; “stakeholder pension scheme” shall be construed in accordance with section 1. (2) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision for a stakeholder pension scheme which— (a) is prescribed or is of a prescribed description, and (b) would (apart from the regulations) be an occupational pension scheme, to be treated for all purposes, or for such purposes as may be prescribed, as if it were a personal pension scheme and not an occupational pension scheme. (3) This Part applies to a pension scheme managed by or on behalf of the Crown as it applies to other pension schemes; and, accordingly, references in this Part to a person in his capacity as a trustee or manager of, or person prescribed in relation to, a pension scheme include the Crown, or a person acting on behalf of the Crown, in that capacity.

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.
