Propose a change

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

3 Prohibition on operating a scheme unless authorised

(1) A person may not operate a Master Trust scheme unless the scheme is authorised. (2) Section 10 of the Pensions Act 1995 (civil penalties) applies to a person who breaches subsection (1). (3) If the Pensions Regulator becomes aware that a Master Trust scheme is operating without authorisation, it must notify the trustees of the scheme that the scheme is not authorised. (4) The notification must include an explanation that it is a triggering event for the purposes of sections 20 to 33 and of the trustees' duties under those sections. (5) For the purposes of this Part, a person “operates” a Master Trust scheme if the person— (a) accepts money from members or employers (or prospective members or employers), in respect of fees, charges, contributions or otherwise, in relation to the scheme, or (b) enters into an agreement with an employer that relates to the provision of pension savings for employees or other workers, and references to a scheme that is “operating” or “in operation” are to be construed accordingly.

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.
