When does the Lifetime Disqualification for Human Trafficking rule go into effect, and how long does the State have to come into compliance with this final rule?

Question:
When does the Lifetime Disqualification for Human Trafficking rule go into effect, and how long does the State have to come into compliance with this final rule?
Answer:

The final rule went into effect on September 23, 2019, and allows States three years to fully implement the final rule. This three-year period allows States sufficient time to seek legislation, update their regulations, and make the appropriate information technology changes to apply the lifetime ban. A State driver licensing agency (SDLA) must come into compliance with this regulation by September 23, 2022.
