The PFS Additional Resources states that for the Racial Spells in the ARG, that you must be a member of the race to take that race's Racial Spells.
There is no similar restriction stated anywhere in the PFS Additional Resources for the various Pathfinder Companion books, like Halflings/Gnomes/Humans/Elves/Dwarves of Golarion. The books themselves don't seem to say the spells are restricted to the race in question (e.g. Gnomes of Golarion specifically states that the spells can be learned by other races). Is there a restriction in PFS? Or are the spells found in those books "associated" with the races, but not "exclusive" (so anyone can take them)?
If it is currently allowed to take the spells from these books even if you are not the race covered by the book, what happens if PFS changes the rules to disallow such a selection later?
Mostly I'm interested in finding out if there's any official answers as this is not an issue in our home games, just when playing PFS.
Thanks!

The limitation of spells and races only currently applies to the ARG book.
If for some reason (I doubt it) they were to retroactively apply this limitations to the companion books, they will allow you to swap out those spells with legal ones. They have allowed that level of "rebuilds" before when new rules came into place (for example, monk twf rule and more recently the gunslinger).
