[edit] Stub assessment

This article has been assessed as a stub. It needs expansion on the forms of coming into force in various jurisdictions. Capitalistroadster 23:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Effective date

Most Acts do not 'come into force' just by being passed by the legislature or receiving executive approval. They almost always include a date from which the new law will apply (this could be several years ahead), and this is the date on which an Act can be said to come into force.
