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.

As published
163 Exemption of certain schemes from rule against perpetuities.
(1) The rules of law relating to perpetuities shall not apply to the trusts of, or any disposition made under or for the purposes of a personal or occupational pension scheme at any time when this section applies to it.
(2) This section applies to—
(a) a public service pension scheme;
(b) an occupational pension scheme which is a contracted-out scheme in relation to any employment;
(c) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ; and
(d) an occupational or personal pension scheme which satisfies prescribed requirements.
(3) Subsection (1) applies whether the trusts or dispositions in question are created or made before or after this section first applies to the scheme, but this section does not validate with retrospective effect any trusts or dispositions which the rules of law relating to perpetuities (including, where applicable, section 3(1) of the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 1964 (“wait and see”)) already require to be treated as void before this section applies to the scheme.
(4) Regulations under subsection (2)(d) may require a scheme—
(a) to contain provisions in any prescribed form, or to any prescribed effect; or
(b) to be a registered pension scheme under section 153 of the Finance Act 2004 or to be a scheme that may be expected to satisfy the conditions for registration.
(5) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(6) Regulations may include provision by which a scheme (other than a public service pension scheme) to which this section ceases to apply may nevertheless be treated as continuing to be a scheme to which it applies for a period of two years from its ceasing to be such a scheme, or for such longer period as the ... Secretary of State ... considers to be reasonable in the case of a particular scheme.
(7) If this section ceases to apply to a scheme, trusts created and dispositions made under it or for its purposes shall then again be subject to the rules of law relating to perpetuities as if this section had never applied to it.
(8) Subsection (7) is without prejudice to any rights which vested while this section applied.
(9) Regulations may provide for a scheme, whose fund was registered under the Superannuation and other Trust Funds (Validation) Act 1927 immediately before the repeal of that Act took effect, to retain the benefit of that Act subject to prescribed conditions and either indefinitely or for a prescribed period.

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.
