Propose a change

Pension Schemes Act 2021

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

17A Unconnected multiple employer schemes: ability to pursue continuity option 3

(1) This section applies for the purposes of enabling the Pensions Regulator to decide whether it is satisfied that, unless required to pursue continuity option 1 by virtue of section 34(3), the trustees of an unconnected multiple employer scheme would not be prevented from pursuing continuity option 3 whenever they consider it appropriate to do so, should a triggering event occur in relation to the scheme (see section 9(3)(g)). (2) In deciding whether it is satisfied that the trustees of the scheme would not be so prevented, the Pensions Regulator must take into account whether there would be any constraints or fetters on the trustees when deciding whether to pursue continuity option 3, should a triggering event occur. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) the circumstances in which there would be a constraint or fetter on the trustees when deciding whether to pursue continuity option 3 include where, before making the decision, the trustees would be required to— (a) obtain the consent of employers, the scheme proprietor, members of the scheme, or any other person, or (b) consult with any person other than employers, the scheme proprietor and members of the scheme.

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.
