The usage of "effective"?
Hi friends:
I saw a sentence as below --
"The Online Privacy Protection Act, effective July 1, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information from people under 18."
And I'm confused by the usage of the word effective; it looks like a preposition is missing!
Am I right?
I consider that the correct usage should be either "effective from July 1, 2000" or "effective on July 1, 2000".
Please advise, thank you!
