I don't recall ever seeing anything about that one way or the other in the umpire manual. What made me think there was some change was the instructor's comment that "we used to teach it that way, but we don't anymore".
It's entirely possible that I'm remembering this from a different sanctioning body's training from several years ago.
Thanks for the input, Mike!
