I strongly suggest you read the bill. Google H.R.3371 and you will find a dozen links to the actual text.
The ATP requirement goes into effect 3 years from the date it is enacted.

For instance I have 2600 TT but no ATP (I was supposed to get that when I upgraded, but I got furloughed instead...)
Sounds like you will need to rent a Seminole and take a check ride.

In all seriousness, what about people like me who trained in a 141 program that was not part of a university? I have a degree in finance and economics, I'm a commercial/multi/instrument with 1250 hours, and a CFI/CFII/MEI. Will I get credit towards the 1500 thanks to the required ground school that was a mandated part of the 141 curriculum, or am I screwed?
You will have a long time to get that 250 hours and take the check ride.
Always good to the hear "What about me?" questions. The inconveniences of a few individuals certainly outweigh any possible improvements to safety or the industry.
