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.

(ba) in the case of a work-based scheme which is a public service pension scheme, a member of the pension board of the scheme, or
(c) any person who is otherwise involved in the administration of a work-based pension scheme,
requiring them or, as the case may be, him to provide the Regulator with a report on one or more specified matters which are relevant to the exercise of any of the Regulator’s functions.
(2) A report notice must require the person appointed to make the report to be a person—
(a) nominated or approved by the Regulator, and
(b) appearing to the Regulator to have the skills necessary to make a report on the matter or matters concerned.
(3) A report notice may require the report to be provided to the Regulator—
(a) in a specified form;
(b) before a specified date.
(4) The costs of providing a report in accordance with a report notice must be met by the person to whom the notice is issued (“the notified person”).
(5) But a report notice may require a specified person (other than the Regulator) to reimburse to the notified person the whole or any part of the costs of providing the report.
(6) Where, by virtue of subsection (5), an amount is required to be reimbursed by a specified person to the notified person, that amount is to be treated as a debt due from the specified person to the notified person.
(7) If the trustees or managers of a work-based pension scheme fail to comply with a report notice issued to them, section 10 of the Pensions Act 1995 (civil penalties) applies to any trustee or manager who has failed to take all reasonable steps to secure compliance.
(8) That section also applies to any other person who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with a report notice issued to him.
(9) Where a report notice is issued, any person who is providing (or who at any time has provided) services to the notified person in relation to a matter on which the report is required must give the person appointed to make the report such assistance as he may reasonably require.
(10) The duty imposed by subsection (9) is enforceable, on the application of the Regulator, by an injunction or, in Scotland, by an order for specific performance under section 45 of the Court of Session Act 1988 (c. 36).
(11) In this section—
“specified”, in relation to a report notice, means specified in the notice;

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.
