Cuando algo está 'en vigor', es vinculante para las partes involucradas o para la sociedad en su conjunto.
Patrones de uso
Se utiliza frecuentemente con verbos de estado como 'estar' (estar en vigor) o de cambio de estado como 'entrar' (entrar en vigor). Es una expresión fija que no admite variaciones de género ni número. Por ejemplo, se dice 'la ley está en vigor' y 'las normas están en vigor'.
