We seem to have covered that each state has their own procedure.
The NFHS does not require a seal if the bat is on the 2004 approved list, but does NOT give umpires the authority to accept an "old" bat because it was manufactured prior to testing. That is not a State option and certainly not an umpire option. To be used legally, a bat must be on the approved list and bats with a seal are either on the approved or the banned list.
