Legislation with no devilish impact? (3)

I believe the answer is:

act

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'legislation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'no devilish impact?' is the wordplay.
'ACT' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for act that I've seen before include "Exploit" , "Perform - part of a play" , "Perform(ance)" , "law passed" , "Feign" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
