Environment 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
19 Policy statement on environmental principles: effect
(1) A Minister of the Crown must, when making policy, have due regard to the policy statement on environmental principles currently in effect. (2) Nothing in subsection (1) requires a Minister to do anything (or refrain from doing anything) if doing it (or refraining from doing it)— (a) would have no significant environmental benefit, or (b) would be in any other way disproportionate to the environmental benefit. (3) Subsection (1) does not apply to policy so far as relating to— (a) the armed forces, defence or national security, (b) taxation, spending or the allocation of resources within government, or (c) Wales. (4) Subsection (1) applies to policy relating to Scotland only so far as relating to reserved matters. (5) Section 14(2) of the UK Withdrawal from the European Union (Continuity) (Scotland) Act 2021 (asp 4) (UK Ministers must have regard to guiding principles on the environment in making policies extending to Scotland) does not apply to policies so far as relating to reserved matters. (6) In this section “reserved matters” has the same meaning as in the Scotland Act 1998.

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.
