According to the Wall Street Journal, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., Federal Reserve Board, Securities and Exchange Commission, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission have all voted to approve the infamous Volcker Rule.

While the vote for Volcker Rule approval was unanimous for the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, the CFTC approved it by 3-1, while the SEC approved it by a slightly narrower 3-2.

The Volcker Rule, which was proposed as a part of the Dodd-Frank Act, will implement strict rules on the banks’ ability to buy and sell securities on behalf of clients and limit compensation arraignments thought to increase risky trades.

The long contested Volcker Rule will not affect most “community banks,” smaller banks with less than $10 billion in assets. And while many considered the rule to be too harsh, it seems many of the larger banks are already in compliance with the rule, with some banks having stopped proprietary trading as far back as two years ago.

It seems investors have been largely unfazed by the passing of the Volcker Rule as well, with banks’ stocks fairing well in the market—even those considered to be heavily affected by the rule.

Any bank that is not yet fully in compliance with the Volcker Rule will have until July 2015 to comply, though they will be expected to begin making visible “good faith” efforts to comply before then.
