This would not be a state intepretation. This would be a modification. Reading the two rules, there is no way, without changing the language, one could be interpreted as the other.
More likely, a state would just say, "We're going with the NCAA rule." No problem.
If you are working in a state that has done that I doubt you would have any individual liability issue based on using their rule in their game. At least no more than usual.
