TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about the new travel rules for Thailand and whether they would take effect for a friend arriving on May 1st. Responses clarified that the new rules had not yet passed into law and that the Thailand Pass website had not been updated accordingly. It was pointed out that the application for the new program would begin on April 29th, and until the rules are officially published in the Royal Gazette, the website will not reflect any changes.

As mentioned earlier its not law yet it needs published in the Royal Gazzette first before it becomes official, so websites won't change until its policy.

The new rules don't exist yet. They haven't been passed into law and the Thailand Pass website has not been updated. The website has a huge banner that says you can apply for the new program starting April 29th. Tell your friend to read instead of clicking through everything.
