Looking at the timeline for HB292, it looks like it was signed in May of last year...Most likely on the 40th and last day the Governor has to sign or veto a bill once the session ends. Anything not signed or vetoed by then automatically becomes law at the time contained within the bill. In this case, the new law was in effect the day the bill was signed; May 8, 2017...See Section 10...
