The time between the enaction and enforcement of a new domestic violence and dowry-related violence law must be carefully calculated so that amendments and amendments which are necessary to the enforcement of the new law may be quickly enacted and promulgated. (See: UN Handbook 3.2.7) 

Example: the law of Albania states that the Council of Ministers is to issue all of the necessary secondary legislation to the implementation of the domestic violence law within 3 months of its entry into force.
