Sec 502 does not clearly specify today or 90 days after entering into the Federal Register.
(b) CONSTRUCTION.--The provisions of section 2257 shall not
apply to any depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct as
described in clause (v) of section 2256(2)(A) of title 18, United
States Code, produced in whole or in part, prior to the effective
date of this section unless that depiction also includes actual sexu-
ally explicit conduct as described in clauses (i) through (iv) of
section 2256(2)(A) of title 18, United States Code.

Sec 503 CLEARLY states 90 days after publishing in Federal Register:

The provisions of this section shall not become effective until
90 days after the final regulations implementing this section are published in the Federal Register.
