The Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions Regulations 2014
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
120 Guaranteed minimum pensions for surviving spouses and civil partners
(1) If a person who is the surviving spouse or civil partner of a deceased active, deferred or pensioner member has a guaranteed minimum under section 17 of PSA1993 in relation to benefits in respect of the deceased member under this scheme— (a) nothing in these regulations permits or requires anything that would cause requirements made by or under that Act in relation to such a person and such a person’s rights under a scheme not to be met in the case of the person; (b) nothing in these regulations prevents anything from being done which is necessary or expedient for the purposes of meeting such requirements in the case of the person. (2) Paragraphs (3) and (4) are without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1). (3) This paragraph applies if apart from this regulation— (a) no pension would be payable to the surviving spouse or civil partner under this Part; or (b) the weekly rate of the pensions payable would be less than the guaranteed minimum. (4) If paragraph (3) applies— (a) a pension the weekly rate of which is equal to the guaranteed minimum is payable to the surviving spouse or civil partner for life or, as the case may be, pensions the aggregate weekly rate of which is equal to the guaranteed minimum are so payable; or (b) if paragraph (3)(b) applies, the pensions payable are increased to the amount specified in sub-paragraph (a). (5) Paragraph (4) does not apply to a pension that is forfeited— (a) as a result of a conviction for treason; or (b) under regulation 165, in a case where the relevant offence within the meaning of regulation 165 is an offence under the Official Secrets Acts 1911 to 1989 or an applicable offence under the National Security Act 2023.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
