This section generally prevents States and their subdivisions from imposing different rules on conduct covered by this subchapter. It allows their own investigations, enforcement actions, remedies, and penalties under permitted laws.
(a) When this subchapter applies to an act or omission, a State* or political subdivision may not adopt or keep a law or regulation about it, except as subsection (b) permits, unless it is the same as this subchapter’s applicable provision. (b) A State or subdivision may provide investigations, enforcement actions, remedies, or penalties, including needed procedures, for a law or regulation allowed by subsection (a).
To the extent that any provision of this subchapter applies to any act or omission, no State* or any political subdivision thereof may adopt or continue in effect, except as provided in subsection (b), any provision of law or regulation with respect to such act or omission, unless such provision of such law or regulation is the same as the applicable provision of this subchapter.
A State or political subdivision thereof may provide for any investigative or enforcement action, remedy, or penalty (including procedural actions necessary to carry out such investigative or enforcement actions, remedies, or penalties) with respect to any provision of law or regulation permitted by subsection (a).
