Pension Schemes Act 2017

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.

What to do with it
As published

16 Duty to notify Regulator of significant events

(1) Where a person mentioned in subsection (2) becomes aware of the fact that a significant event has occurred in relation to an authorised Master Trust scheme, the person must give notice of that fact, in writing, to the Pensions Regulator as soon as reasonably practicable. (2) The persons are— (a) a trustee of the scheme; (b) a person who (alone or with others) has power to appoint or remove a trustee; (c) a person who (alone or with others) has power to vary the terms of the trust under which the scheme is established (where the scheme is established under a trust); (d) a person who (alone or with others) has power to vary the scheme (where the scheme is not established under a trust); (e) a scheme funder; (f) a scheme strategist; (g) a person who provides legal, financial or actuarial advice in relation to the scheme; (h) a person who manages the scheme administration services; (i) a person acting in a capacity specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State. (3) The Secretary of State must make regulations setting out the events that constitute significant events for the purposes of this section. (4) No duty to which a person is subject is to be regarded as contravened merely because of any information provided to the Pensions Regulator under this section. (5) A person is not required by this section to disclose anything in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege (or, in Scotland, to confidentiality of communications) could be maintained in legal proceedings. (6) Section 10 of the Pensions Act 1995 (civil penalties) applies to a person who fails to comply with subsection (1). (7) The first regulations that are made under subsection (3) are subject to affirmative resolution procedure. (8) Any subsequent regulations under subsection (3), and regulations under subsection (2), are subject to negative resolution procedure.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
