When does the new law go into effect. If I have a registered suppressor and live in Ohio can i travel to a Michigan shooting range yet?

The law was already in effect. An older Attorney General opinion blocked them for some time. This new (the correct one might I add based on the law) opinion makes them ok again. So it takes effect immediatly.

How did the AG's opinion have any effect on the law?

This is the way I've always understood it:

The LAW says "only those licensed under federal law may possess"

An old AG opinion says form 1/4 are not a license to possess.

A new opinion says there is no "federal license" so form 1/4 is whats required.

How does his opinion play into the matter. He does not have the authority to interpret or make a decision on the law, that is what judges do.

Not in MI. The MI (state not federal) Attorney General can issue an opinion on the law. The courts, legislature, and others (ATF in this case) will base enforcement of the law based on what he says. Im sure they can be challenged in court but in the case of supressors, the ATF wouldnt approve the trans becuase of the old opinion. If you took possession otherwise you were in violation of Federal law. It sucked for a long time. At least our new AG fixed it becase the law was pretty clear that the licensing refered to the ATF approval process.
