Wrong. Civics 101. It became law of the land, i.e. "gone into effect," the moment it was signed. FAA is already implementing parts of it, hence the 400 foot in class G note on their official website. It's very explicit ... in the LAW itself and on FAA's page.

For your convenience, I've attached a complete copy of PL 112-95 Section 336 below. Please show us where it "refers us to the wording in AC-91-57." Oh, that's right. You can't, because it doesn't. Yet again, you're quoting what you want it to say vs. what it actually says. Some would call that "misleading..."

Times change. The law has clearly changed. What happened before is largely irrelevant in light of the SPECIFIC requirement to be at or below 400 feet in class G. Again, READ THE WORDS.
