I'm pretty sure that around here (upstate NY), a 25-second clock controlled from the booth counts as "auxiliary game management equipment," which requires a specific exemption from the state association to be used.

Of course, around here, the clock operators for varsity games are paid officials from our organization, avoiding the bias problem (but, unfortunately, not always avoiding the incompetence problem). At lower levels, the clock is kept by one of the on-field officials.
