You could also call this:

“When this law becomes official and starts working”

This law will start working the day after the King or Queen of New Zealand signs it. When the King or Queen signs a law, it’s called giving ‘Royal assent’. So, as soon as the King or Queen signs this law, it will become active the very next day. This means the law will be in effect and everyone will need to follow it from that day onwards.
