Swipe Law Signed

Interchange reform has begun.
The Wall Street Reform & Consumer Protection Act has been signed by President Obama and its a matter of time until the its reforms are implemented.

Specifically, when will the language governing transaction limits and "reasonable and proportional" rates be implemented?

Retail groups praised Congress for passing and President Barack Obama for signing into law the Wall Street Reform & Consumer Protection Act (H.R. 4173, also known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act of 2010), which includes a provision to reform credit-card and debit-card interchange fees. The bill includes an amendment sponsored by Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) that would require the Federal Reserve to set regulations resulting in "reasonable and proportional" swipe fees for debit cards.
