Except as provided by this section, regulations under those provisions may not make different provision in relation to different agricultural sectors.

(6) In this section— “agricultural sector” means a sector listed in Schedule 1; “new sector-specific provision” means sector-specific provision that did not apply by virtue of any assimilated direct legislation immediately before this section comes into force.

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.
