That is exactly my issue with it being a law. I have the same birthday as your daughter. My brother's is two weeks before mine. (Three years later.) We both started school right after turning 5 because that was what was done then. I was fine with it. My brother struggled terribly and to this day (he is now 36) my mother regrets sending him. He turned out great (masters in engineering and part owner of a large commercial construction company in Chicago) but it wasn't until he was in college that he really came into his own and got on track. For him, starting at 5 (even half days) was not what was best for him. And that was a big factor in my deciding to hold back my boys.
