Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022
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
As published
7 Elections by virtue of section 6: timing and procedure
(1) An election—
(a) must be made before the end of the section 6 election period,
(b) is treated as having taken effect—
(i) immediately before the member became a pensioner member of the scheme, or (if earlier) became a pensioner member of a Chapter 1 new scheme, in relation to the employment or office, or
(ii) if the member died without having become a pensioner member of the scheme, or of a Chapter 1 new scheme, in relation to the employment or office, immediately before the member’s death, and
(c) is irrevocable.
(2) In this Chapter “the end of the section 6 election period” means—
(a) the end of the period of one year beginning with the day on which a remediable service statement is first provided in respect of the member, or
(b) such later time as the scheme manager considers reasonable in all the circumstances.
(3) Scheme regulations made by virtue of section 6(1) may, in particular, include provision—
(a) requiring information to be provided before an election is made;
(b) about the form and manner in which an election is to be made;
(c) about who may make an election in relation to the remediable service of a deceased member.
(4) References in this section to “an election” are to an election by virtue of section 6.

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.
