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.
Change 1

(4) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the matters mentioned in subsections (1) and (2), including provision about the methods and assumptions to be used.

(6) Regulations under subsection (4) may, among other things— (a) provide for alternative methods and assumptions; (b) require or enable the trustees to decide which methods and assumptions are to be used; (c) specify matters that the trustees must take into account, or principles they must follow, in making such decisions.

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.
