Yes, if a state elects to deviate from the NFHS rules then that state forfeits its right to submit rule changes to the NFHS committee and also loses its ability to have a representative sit on the national rules committee.
That's the penalty. As an example, the state of CA currently suffers this in order to employ a shot clock for both boys and girls games.
