Am I reading this correctly?
Yes. It's a change. I don't agree with it, but they didn't ask me.

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?
It's always been that way.
