Oh?
See p68 of the current NFHS rules book. The FED lists the type of adoptions that any state may use. Any other adoptions outside of those, including a shot clock, are not approved by the NFHS. Experimental rules may be tried out with the blessing of the NFHS. As JRut said, states that put in their own rules may lose their input and representation on or to the rules committee. I have heard of several states that have lost those privileges, and I believe yours is one of them.
