"The effects of that decision will affect people for years to come."

Explanation: "effects" (noun) = results of the decision; "affect" (verb) = to influence. "Affects" is the wrong verb form here (you need the base form after "will"), and "effect" (singular) would be grammatical but less natural if you mean multiple consequences.
