submitted 58 years ago by Pub. L. 90-321 to r/title-18-CRIMES-AND-CRIMINAL-PROCEDURE · 88 words · no verdicts yet
This chapter does not displace state law in areas where states could legislate without it. It does not invalidate otherwise valid state laws or remove state jurisdiction that would otherwise exist.
This chapter does not preempt any area where state* legislation would be allowed without this chapter. A state law that would otherwise be valid cannot be treated as invalid or inapplicable merely because this chapter exists. The chapter also cannot remove from a state officer, agency*, or instrumentality jurisdiction over an offense that it would otherwise have.
This chapter does not preempt any field of law with respect to which State* legislation would be permissible in the absence of this chapter. No law of any State which would be valid in the absence of this chapter may be held invalid or inapplicable by virtue of the existence of this chapter, and no officer, agency*, or instrumentality of any State may be deprived by virtue of this chapter of any jurisdiction over any offense over which it would have jurisdiction in the absence of this chapter.
