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.

(1) This section applies for the purposes of enabling the Pensions Regulator to decide whether it is satisfied that the persons involved in a collective money purchase scheme are fit and proper persons (see section 60(3)(a)). (2) The Pensions Regulator must assess whether each of the following is a fit and proper person to act in relation to the scheme in the capacity mentioned— (a) a person who establishes the scheme; (b) a trustee; (ba) where the scheme is an unconnected multiple employer scheme, the scheme proprietor (see section 65B); (bb) where the scheme is an unconnected multiple employer scheme, a person who promotes or markets the scheme; (bc) where the scheme is an unconnected multiple employer scheme, a chief or other senior financial officer of the scheme; (bd) where the scheme is an unconnected multiple employer scheme, a chief or other senior investment officer of the scheme; (c) a person who (alone or with others) has power to appoint or remove a trustee; (d) a person who (alone or with others) has power to vary the provisions of the scheme; (e) a person acting in a capacity specified in regulations made by the Department. (3) In assessing whether a person is a fit and proper person to act in a particular capacity, the Pensions Regulator— (a) must take into account any matters specified in regulations made by the Department, and (b) may take into account such other matters as it considers appropriate, including matters relating to a person connected with that person. (4) Regulations under subsection (3)(a) may include provision requiring specified information to be provided to the Pensions Regulator. (5) For the purposes of this section, a person (“A”) is connected with another person (“B”) if— (a) A is an associate of B; (b) where B is a company, A is a director or shadow director of B or an associate of a director or shadow director of B; (c) A is a trustee of an occupational pension scheme established under a trust and— (i) the beneficiaries of the trust include B or an associate of B, or (ii) the provisions of the scheme confer a power that may be exercised for the benefit of B or an associate of B. (6) In this section— “associate” has the meaning given in Article 4 of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (S.I. 1989/2405 (N.I. 19)); “director” and “shadow director” have the meaning given in Article 5 of that Order.

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.
