The authority applies to a qualifying instance occurring on or after January 1, 2022.  The authority for the civil action was enacted in H.R. 5371, the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026 , which was signed by the President on November 12, 2026.
