So what's this whole thing that's going to happen soon? It's going into double effect or something?

The law was made public two years ago, to give companies time to get compliant. It actually goes into effect next friday.

It was already in effect, it just wasn't enforceable and that is what is changing next Friday.

In effect but not enforceable means its not in effect in a way that matters to anyone.
