The Armed Forces Pension Regulations 2014
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
78 Death of a member: lump sum benefit
(1) On the death of a member, the scheme manager may pay a lump sum to— (a) the person or persons nominated by the member in accordance with regulation 84 (nominations for lump sum death benefits); (b) if there is no person within sub-paragraph (a), to any person who is entitled to a pension under regulation 65 or 67 (surviving spouses’ and civil partners’ pensions and other adult dependants’ pensions) in respect of the member; (c) if there is no person within sub-paragraphs (a) or (b), to any person who, but for the application of regulation 65 or 67 would be so entitled or to whom a pension may be awarded; or (d) if there is no person within sub-paragraph (a), (b) or (c), to the member’s personal representatives. (2) If the scheme manager decides to pay all or part of the lump sum in accordance with a nomination then— (a) the payment is to be made to them in such proportions as the member has specified in the nomination; or (b) if no proportions are so specified, in such proportions as the scheme manager considers appropriate. (3) This regulation does not apply if— (a) the member is— (i) a pensioner member, who is not also a deferred member or an active member; or (ii) a pension credit member who dies after any benefits attributable to a pension credit have become payable and who is not also an active member, a deferred member or a pensioner member; and (b) the death takes place— (i) more than 5 years after the member’ pension becomes payable; or (ii) after the member’s pension has been commuted under regulation 116 (commutation of small pensions) or 60 (option for members in serious ill-health to exchange whole pension for lump sum).

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
