Federal district courts may hear the Attorney General’s applications to force employees, employers, and others to comply with obligations under this chapter. This grant of jurisdiction does not remove other jurisdiction those courts otherwise have.
The U.S. district courts may hear an application by the Attorney General*, on the Secretary’s behalf, to compel an employee* or another person living within the court’s jurisdiction, or an employer* subject to service of process there, to comply with obligations imposed by this chapter. This specifically granted federal jurisdiction is not exclusive; the courts may also use any other jurisdiction they possess to hear legal or equitable civil actions that help enforce rights or obligations under this chapter.
The several district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction to entertain an application by the Attorney General* on behalf of the Secretary* to compel an employee* or other person residing within the jurisdiction of the court or an employer* subject to service of process within its jurisdiction to comply with any obligations imposed on such employee, employer, or other person under the provisions of this chapter. The jurisdiction herein specifically conferred upon such Federal courts shall not be held exclusive of any jurisdiction otherwise possessed by such courts to entertain civil actions, whether legal or equitable in nature, in aid of the enforcement of rights or obligations arising under the provisions of this chapter.
