There has been no change in the rule. It still reads "current or two
immediately preceding Snell Foundation standards." See 4.3.1 on page
60 of the 2000 rule book.
Here is a direct quote from Howard contained in an October 26th email
to all Solo Field Staff and published in the November issue of the
Safety Belt:

they aren't already.
As per Section 4.3.1 of the Solo II rules, that means that the minimum
acceptable Snell rating for 2001 will be a Snell 90.<
Hope that helps answer your question.
