Here's my suggestion: have one stamp & signature place set up with whatever you have to certify to get the approvals you need. Have another stamp & signature place set up with the new state-required certification. If the county officials record the plan without asking you to stamp & sign the final certification, you haven't committed any felony by signing a false statement.
Too many govt bureaucrats at all levels are petty tyrants. An acquaintance said of such folks: "If they had gunpowder for brains they couldn't blow their own hats off."
That is effectively what I do with plats. They want a signed version submitted for review. But there is also a surveyor's certificate. I sign my stamp, but not the certificate until it is approved.?ÿ
@dmyhill That's exactly how things were done until this particular county decided they didn't like that method.
Me. "What's the difference?"

Interesting. Unless you find a client willing to sue them to do the right thing, I think you either have to forgo work in that county or just grin and bear it.
If you think it's time, you could write the Survey license Board asking for a written opinion.?ÿ Or start with the County Attorney, advising that you intend to follow up with Survey license Board....?ÿ I agree with dmyhill that you should include code references.
Peripheral to this discussion but I think all ROS and Subdivision maps should be a unique Mylar or vellum?ÿ with actual with wet signatures which is filed/recorded physically in the County vaults.?ÿ "Electro" submittals are subject to alteration and scanned into illegibility and as the decades pass may become unrecoverable and "what's the original" becomes unclear.
I know I'm a Luddite but well prepared original maps can last for centuries so why not insist that physical maps be recorded/filed as originals?
