They say the exact same thing. There's no mention of the mound in either book. Only that the batter is out if the pitcher is in position ready to pitch when the batter switches.
LL Rule 6.06 Illegal Actions by the Batter
A batter is out for illegal action when.
(b) Stepping from one batters box to the other while the pitcher is in position ready to pitch.
OBR Rule 6.06 -
A batter is out for illegal action when -
(b) He steps from one box to the other while the the pitcher is in position ready to pitch.
I added emphasis to the word "he" in the OBR rule to note the only difference. OBR is sexist!
