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.

What to do with it
As published

60A Failure of unconnected multiple employer schemes to commence operation

(1) Where the Pensions Regulator grants authorisation to an unconnected multiple employer scheme, but no person has operated the scheme within the commencement period— (a) the scheme’s authorisation is withdrawn, and (b) the Pensions Regulator must— (i) notify the trustees that the scheme is no longer authorised, and (ii) remove the scheme from the list of authorised collective money purchase schemes (see section 77). (2) The commencement period, in relation to a scheme, is the period of 24 months beginning with the day on which the Pensions Regulator received the application for authorisation of the scheme. (3) But if, before the end of that 24-month period, the trustees of the scheme satisfy the Pensions Regulator that they have good reason for needing an extension to the period, the Regulator may extend the commencement period by up to six weeks. (4) A notification to the trustees of an unconnected multiple employer scheme under section 60(4)(b) must state— (a) the date on which the commencement period ends, and (b) that if no person has operated the scheme by that date, the authorisation will be withdrawn. (5) If no person has operated an authorised unconnected multiple employer scheme before the beginning of the period of three months ending with the date on which the commencement period ends, the Pensions Regulator must send a second notification to the trustees of the scheme stating the matters specified in subsection (4)(a) and (b). (6) Section 58(5) (meaning of “operates”) applies for the purposes of this section.

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.
