What to do with it
As published

2 Environmental targets: particulate matter

(1) The Secretary of State must by regulations set a target (“the PM2.5 air quality target”) in respect of the annual mean level of PM2.5 in ambient air. (2) The PM2.5 air quality target may, but need not, be a long-term target. (3) In this section “PM2.5” means particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter not exceeding 2.5 micrometres. (4) Regulations setting the PM2.5 air quality target may make provision defining “ambient air”. (5) The duty in subsection (1) is in addition to (and does not discharge) the duty in section 1(2) to set a long-term target in relation to air quality. (6) Section 1(4) to (9) applies to the PM2.5 air quality target and to regulations under this section as it applies to targets set under section 1 and to regulations under that section. (7) In this Part “the PM2.5 air quality target” means the target set under subsection (1).

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.

Think it through

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.
