Saturday's GAA Special Congress passed all of the Football Review Committee's proposals into the rule book.
The Croke Park gathering was short and sweet, with the 62 rule changes, which will come into effect on 1 January 2026, endorsed in just under 45 minutes.
The opening motion, dealing with playing gear, amended the rule where gear must be made by an Irish manufacturer to one that is officially licensed by the GAA.
This now brings the GAA into line with EU competition law.
Some of the motions did have some additional amendments.
If a player moves from the sideline or 45m line before the referee has thrown in the ball to start or restart the game a free-kick will be awarded to the opposition from the middle of the half-way line.
If opposition players foul simultaneously, the referee will start/restart the game again as normal.
Regarding a two-point score, all such scores from outside the arc will count provided no other player from the same team as the shooter touches it after it's kicked.
Previously a situation where a player from the opposition got his hand to a two-pointer before it went over the bar counted as one point.
A black card and a penalty will be the sanction for deliberately denying a goal-scoring opportunity by pulling an opponent's jersey - and will now apply at all inter-county grades and at club level.
What is deemed disruptive conduct by team officials will penalised by giving the opposition a free on the 13-metre line.
Where the infraction occurs immediately before the start of the game or during the half-time interval, the game shall start or restart with such a 13-metre free.
The sideline official can alert the referee on any foul or infraction of a rule by a team official.
In the case of a player advancing the ball from the place where a free or sideline kick should be taken, or takes a sideline from a position not outside the boundary line, the opposition will be awarded a free.
In such situations, a throw-in was previously awarded.
