If the Gov. signed the bill into law today would they be able to arrest them when they show up at the funerals?

I believe they could arrest them, as it wouldn't fall under "ex post facto", because it would already be a law. Unless there is a "effective date" specified, or their current legislation allows a certain amount of time before a signed bill becomes a law.
