"Become law" can be used in place of "become effective" if the intent is to sound emphatic or melodramatic. For example:
"They've made several changes in the dress code rules: conservative haircuts only, no tattoos or piercings. full-length pants only - no jeans, shirts with collars only - no messages printed on the shirt, conservative shoes only with socks - no athletic shoes, no jewel
