after the law has been introduced

Hi Stephanie,
This is a bit of stab in the dark, but I'm inclined to think this refers to a law being introduced. Van Dale gives "tot stand brengen, syn. invoeren, ..." for instellen. If this holds true, then Van den End gives "to introduce a law" for "een wet invoeren". Plenty of hits for this collocation in either UK or US English. HTH. Cheers, R.

Given the high register of your source text, another option would be to write "subsequent to the introduction of the law" or words to that effect.

Hi, Dave. Yes, strictly speaking, it's the ACT that comes into effect, for the law is an enacted BILL. But that distinction seems to be glossed over nowadays//busy little beaver these days. :-)//just in time for the snow!;-)
