There’s no fundamental requirement that I can think of to grandfather anyone in for anything when making laws.
But it may be politically-sensible to do so in some cases, since obviously if someone has made an investment in something that is banned, they are impacted more than someone who has not, and are probably going to take more issue wirh the law.
I might have mixed up ex post facto with needing to grandfather in people haha. Makes sense tho to help people accept the new law and minimize resistance to it

Yeah, ex post facto laws definitely are not okay in the US, and I suspect most places will have some form of similar restriction.
