The Pensions Act 2011 (Transitional, Consequential and Supplementary Provisions) 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
25 Revaluation of cash balance benefits etc: pensionable service before the appointed day
(1) Where— (a) a member of an occupational pension scheme has, under the applicable rules, accrued rights to— (i) cash balance benefits in respect of which the available sum is not calculated by reference to final salary; (ii) a defined benefit minimum (in relation to money purchase underpin benefits or cash balance underpin benefits); or (iii) top-up benefits; (b) the accrued rights to benefits specified in sub-paragraph (a) are attributable to periods of pensionable service before the appointed day; and (c) the trustees or managers of the scheme have before that day treated those benefits as if they were money purchase benefits, if the trustees or managers of the scheme think it appropriate, those benefits or (as the case may be) the available sum in respect of which those benefits are calculated shall be revalued by the money purchase method. (2) Where— (a) the conditions specified in paragraph (1)(a) and (c) are satisfied; and (b) the accrued rights to benefits specified in paragraph (1)(a) which were treated as money purchase benefits are attributable to periods of pensionable service falling partly before and partly on or after the appointed day, if the trustees or managers of the scheme think it appropriate, so much of those benefits or of the available sum in respect of which those benefits are calculated as is attributable to periods of pensionable service before that day shall be revalued by the money purchase method. (3) In this regulation— (a) “final salary”, in relation to a member to or in respect of whom benefits under a pension scheme are payable, means the member’s pensionable earnings, or highest, average or representative pensionable earnings, in a specified period ending at, or defined by reference to, the time when the member’s pensionable service in relation to that scheme ends; (b) “money purchase method” has the meaning given by Schedule 3 to the 1993 Act, except that it also includes the application of a guaranteed notional interest rate or investment yield, in accordance with the rules of the scheme, to the benefits or to the available sum in respect of which the benefits are calculated; and (c) “pensionable earnings”, in relation to a member of a pension scheme, means earnings by reference to which benefits under the scheme are calculated. (4) Where the trustees or managers of the scheme determine that benefits should be revalued in accordance with this regulation, section 84 of the 1993 Act applies in relation to those benefits revalued in accordance with this regulation as if they were money purchase benefits.

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.
