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

(2) The Pensions Regulator may direct the trustees— (a) to obtain an actuarial valuation; (b) to take such other steps as the Pensions Regulator considers appropriate to remedy or mitigate the failure.

(4) In exercising a power conferred by this section, the Pensions Regulator must comply with any requirements specified in regulations made by the Department. (5) Article 10 of the Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (civil penalties) applies to a trustee who fails to take all reasonable steps to comply with a direction under 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.
