U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1829. Preemption of State laws; concurrent jurisdiction; prohibition on certain State action
No provision of this chapter shall be construed as indicating an
intent on the part of the Congress to occupy the field in which
such provision operates to the exclusion of the law of any State on
the same subject matter, unless there is a direct and positive
conflict between such provision and the law of the State so that
the two cannot be reconciled or consistently stand together. Nor
shall any provision of this chapter be construed to exclude the
Federal Government from enforcing the provision of this chapter
within any State, whether or not such State has enacted legislation
on the same subject, it being the intent of the Congress to
establish concurrent jurisdiction with the States over such subject
matter. In no case shall any such State take any action pursuant to
this section involving a violation of any such law of that State
which would preclude the United States from enforcing the
provisions of this chapter against any person.
