The school ratified the policy last year.
Hi
Is this sentence OK, especially the underlined parts?
The policy on extra payment has been there since 1990, but it lay dormant for many years. Only last year, the company ratified it again.
Thanks,
Tom

They sound a little out of place there, but I am not sure what has happened. Perhaps this?—
The policy on extra payment has been in place since 1990, but it has not been implemented for many years. Only last year, the company reconfirmed it.
