The bill still has to go through the legislative process. A member of the legislature cannot simply put a law in place. The reason for the statement you refer to is that in most states legislation that is passed goes into effect at specific time in the future stated in the bill. For a bill to take immediate effect on passage the language you cite is put in the bill but the bill must still pass and be signed into law by the governor.
