It was a 2003 rule change that allowed the penalty to be taken on the try. It was a 2007 change that allowed the penalty to be taken on the try OR the ensuing kickoff. So it's the 10th year that all fouls carry over and the 6th where it can be carried over to the kickoff.
(BTW, the illegal block in the back 10 yard foul didn't hit NFHS football until 2002 and yet it feels like it's always been there after 11 years.)
