State Association Approval ...

If you're talking about this (below), the NFHS still requires state association approval (as JRutledge's state association apparently did).

2011-12 Basketball Rules Changes
A new note was added authorizing state associations to grant exceptions to NFHS playing rules for participants with disabilities, special needs, and/or extenuating circumstances.

2013-14 Basketball Rules Changes
3-5-1 Note Each state association may, in keeping with applicable laws, authorize exceptions to NFHS playing rules to provide reasonable accommodations to individual participants with disabilities and/or special needs, as well as those individuals with unique and extenuating circumstances. The accommodations should not fundamentally alter the sport, heighten risk to the athlete/others, or place opponents at a disadvantage.


Last year's rule change removed the state association approval for religious head coverings, but only for religious head coverings, no mention of removing color restrictions on long sleeve undershirts worn for religious reasons, that's still up to each individual state.

Or did JRutledge mean that his state did this (extenuating circumstances) unilaterally before 2011-12, before it was actually allowed to do?
