Any proposal can make any non-secured change to the gamestate (Rule
106, 1688). The minimum power of a proposal is 1 (Rule 1950), which
would presumably be enough. I'm unaware the relevant social
conventions, if any. I personally think that what you suggest is fine.

Rules cited:
Rule 106 (in part):
Except as prohibited by other rules, a proposal that takes effect CAN
and does, as part of its effect, apply the changes that it specifies.
Rule 1688 (in part):
A Rule that makes a change, action, or value secured (hereafter
the securing Rule) thereby makes it IMPOSSIBLE to perform that
change or action, or to set or modify that value, except as
allowed by an Instrument with Power greater than or equal to the
change's Power Threshold. This Threshold defaults to the
securing Rule's Power, but CAN be lowered as allowed by that
Rule (including by the Rule itself).
Rule 1950 (in part):
Adoption index is an untracked switch possessed by Agoran
decisions and proposals, whose value is either "none" (default)
or an integral multiple of 0.1 from 1.0 to 9.9.
