§ 729.15 Prospective applicability of act.

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

This law only applies to court cases and distribution proceedings that start after the law took effect. If a case began before that date, this law does not apply to it. Instead, older rules would still cover those earlier cases.

In simple terms, this rule sets a starting line. It tells courts and people involved in legal actions that the new rules move forward from a certain point in time, not backward. If you filed something or a proceeding began before the effective date, you would need to look at the older laws that were in place at that time instead.
