§ 2312 Effective Date Application

This law says that the new rules only apply to lawsuits that start after the law takes effect, while any lawsuits already started keep using the old rules.

Key Takeaways

•New law applies only to cases started after its effective date.
•Old law stays in force for cases that were already pending when the new law started.
•The switch‑over point is the law’s effective date.

Example

A person files a personal injury lawsuit on March 1, after the new law became effective on February 1. Another person had already filed a similar lawsuit on January 15, before the new law started.

The March 1 case will be decided using the new law, but the January 15 case will continue under the old law because it was already pending when the new law began.
