No support for it at all on the committee. In the past, they proposed it as a State Adoption, but the FED itself said that there are already enough State Adoptions and didn't want any more. This is also why you will never see the shot clock as a State Adoption. Either everyone is going to use it, or no one is.

So what? States do not need the Fed's blessing to adopt a rule. States routinely adopt rules (such as using the shot clock) without permission from the Fed. And nothing happens to those states. It is helpful to have a uniform set of national rules, but it seems that individual states can do what they please without needing any formal approval from the Fed.
