Legislation typically goes through the following key stages:
Adoption (5 April 1996): This is the date when the legislature (e.g., Parliament)
formally passes the Act. However, the Act does not yet have legal force.
Assent (10 April 1996): This occurs when the President signs the Act, indicating
approval. At this point, the Act becomes law but does not necessarily take effect
immediately.
