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.

54 Inducements
(1) An employer contravenes this section if the employer takes any action for the sole or main purpose of—
(a) inducing a worker to give up membership of a relevant scheme without becoming an active member of another relevant scheme with effect from—
(i) the day after the membership is given up, or
(ii) a day within the prescribed period (if a period is prescribed), or
(b) inducing a jobholder to give a notice under section 8 without becoming an active member of a qualifying scheme with effect from—
(i) the day on which the jobholder became an active member of the scheme to which the notice relates, or
(ii) a day within the prescribed period (if a period is prescribed).
(2) Section 35 applies in relation to a contravention of this section as it applies in relation to a contravention of section 2(1), and sections 38 to 44 apply accordingly.
(3) But the Regulator may not issue a compliance notice in respect of a contravention of this section unless the contravention occurred within the prescribed period before—
(a) the time when a complaint was made to the Regulator about the contravention, or
(b) the time when the Regulator informed the employer of an investigation of the contravention, if no complaint was made before that time.
(4) A compliance notice in respect of a contravention of this section may direct the employer to take or refrain from taking specified steps in order to prevent the contravention being repeated.
(5) For the purposes of this section a worker gives up membership of a relevant scheme if the worker—
(a) takes action or makes an omission by which the worker, without ceasing to be employed by the employer, ceases to be an active member of the scheme, or
(b) requests or authorises the employer to take such action or to make such an omission.
(6) In this section, “relevant scheme” means—
(a) in relation to a jobholder, a qualifying scheme;
(b) in relation to a worker to whom section 9 applies, a scheme which satisfies the requirements of that 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.
