The FAA changed the regulations recently so that if a Company’s OpSpecs require a SIC for 91K or 135 then the SIC can log the time during the 91 legs. So basically the SIC remains a required crewmember for 91 legs and doesn’t revert to being a passenger for those legs.

In the case of PlaneSense the OpSpecs requires the SIC at all times, even under Part 91. Prior to the change in the regs it didn't matter what the OpSecs said because the FAA under Part 91 considered the SIC as a passenger not a required crewmember. Now with the change in the Regs as long as the OpsSpecs require a SIC for 91K and 135 then the SIC is also required for 91 and the FAA considers the SIC a required crewmember at all times. Therefore all flight time is loggable.

Which FAA regulation was changed and exactly which Planesense OpSpec requires an SIC under Part 91?

Here is the Advisory Circular. Basically it allows a 135 air carrier with the proper Opspec (A062) to allow SICs, to log SIC time on 91 legs. They call it the "Second in Command Professional Development Program", or SIC PDP. It does not require an SIC for 91 legs. Planesense does not currently have this Opspec.
