I would suggest:

     Section 1 of this Act shall take effect on the first Sunday of November
     of the first calendar year after the [contigencies have been met]

That's relatively easy to explain and gives at least 10 months warning.

Of course, you need *all* the states that are listed in the contingencies
to use the same rule, or you'll have a year or two when they're out of
sync.
