What happened is the constrictor rule in 2012, again this is not something new, they added species that were originally left out to be reviewed.
Here are some FAQ since some people seems to be in the dark http://usark.org/2014-blog/constrictor-rule-1/

Re: More snakes to join Burmese python on restricted list
Following opportunities for public comment, an economic analysis and an environmental assessment, the Service produced the final rule, which is expected to publish in the Federal Register March 10. The prohibitions in the rule will go into effect 30 days after publication and apply to live individuals, gametes, viable eggs or hybrids of the four snakes.
So, the cutoff date for the affected species is April 9, 2015.

Right in the middle of laying and hatching season with bad weather to boot.
Thankfully, boa constrictors were removed from consideration. (boa constrictors includes every single subspecies, by the way.)

Re: More snakes to join Burmese python on restricted list
Ugh. I'm so mad. I want a super dwarf retic someday. And I'd better be sure I never have to move states after that, and good luck finding what I want within state. I really hope with USARK we can eventually get this whole thing overturned.
Alluring Constrictors

Specifically which species were banned form interstate commerce and which weren't.

HSUS blatantly lies in their blog today about the listing. Call them out on it!

I was all set to order a dwarf retic online. Now I don't know if I still want to since I wont even be able to move it out of PA. I feel like purchasing a few more ball pythons which might be next on the list of "invasive species". This ban is so depressing. It just ruined my entire day.

If you want to that badly then do it, a lot of collections are being sold for a pittance right now. PA is a decent sized state so rehoming it shouldn't be difficult if you do have to move.
