Propose a change

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.

82 Option to buy out early payment reduction

(1) This regulation applies if— (a) a member of this scheme becomes entitled under Chapter2 or 3 to the immediate payment of a full retirement pension or a partial retirement pension; and (b) the member has not reached— (i) normal pension age under this scheme; or (ii) if applicable, the member’s effective pension age or enhanced effective pension age. (2) The member may opt under this regulation to buy out the early payment reduction that would otherwise apply to the calculation of the annual rate of retirement pension. (3) The cost must be met by way of a special payment to this scheme made by— (a) the member; (b) the member’s employer (“the employer”); or (c) both the member and the employer. (4) The employer may make a special payment using a lump sum payable to the member under a compensation scheme. (5) Any special payment by the employer must be made— (a) in accordance with the compensation scheme; or (b) with the consent of the Minister. (6) If the employer makes a special payment under paragraph (5)(a)— (a) the lump sum payable to the member under the compensation scheme is reduced by the amount of the special payment; and (b) if the amount of the special payment is more than the whole of the lump sum payable to the member under the compensation scheme, any difference is not chargeable to the member. (7) The cost of buying out the early payment reduction is an amount determined by the scheme manager after consulting the scheme actuary.

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.

Think it through

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.
