You being a VP have a bit of leverage in this situation...
Ignore the guidance.
If anything comes of it in the future, act like you had to many things going on and didn't catch that it was a requirement due to your already over stressed position.
My 2 cents is that at minimum no one in your organization will comply with submitting documentation proof and if they start following up on it you can buy time while looking for another job or talking about re-location options.
IF the ladder happens, find some excuse to get out of California. Wife, Family, whatever. IF there are corporate positions in other states see if they will transfer you to work remotely or what other options are available.
There are plenty of tech/leadership roles out there and depending on what your background is you can find comparable salaries as what you would make in Cali in other states.
I would personally claim ignorance and ride the ship to determine how your company plans to enforce the non compliance. You are not the only one who will be ignoring this mandate. If the company really wants to enforce it and threaten layoffs then let them fire you and sue them... e.g. Religious exemptions etc.
