New Rule?

I was scimming the 2016 MLBUM and saw that a change was made:
If the B/R misses first on a play but beats the throw the umpire is not supposed to call him safe anymore.
He is supposed to make no call at all and wait for an appeal.
Am I reading this correctly?

Also--I was reading the 2017 NFHS Baseball Casebook and they say an out should not be called if a runner/batter removes his helmet when the ball is live.
Issue a warning and if it happens again eject.
Is this something new or has it always been so?
