in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Federal mining law does not generally displace State laws. State health and safety rules may be stricter or may cover subjects the federal law does not cover, unless they conflict with federal law or an order or mandatory standard.

(a) A State law in effect on December 30, 1969, or taking effect later, is not superseded by this chapter, an order, or a mandatory health or safety standard unless it conflicts with them. (b) A State law or regulation that sets stricter health or safety standards for coal or other mines is not considered conflicting merely because it is stricter. A State law or regulation covering a health or safety subject that this chapter, an order, or a mandatory standard does not address is also not considered conflicting.

(a)

No State law in effect on December 30, 1969 or which may become effective thereafter shall be superseded by any provision of this chapter or order issued or any mandatory health or safety standard, except insofar as such State law is in conflict with this chapter or with any order issued or any mandatory health or safety standard.

(b)

The provisions of any State law or regulation in effect upon the operative date of this chapter, or which may become effective thereafter, which provide for more stringent health and safety standards applicable to coal or other mines than do the provisions of this chapter or any order issued or any mandatory health or safety standard shall not thereby be construed or held to be in conflict with this chapter. The provisions of any State law or regulation in effect on December 30, 1969, or which may become effective thereafter, which provide for health and safety standards applicable to coal or other mines for which no provision is contained in this chapter or in any order issued or any mandatory health or safety standard, shall not be held to be in conflict with this chapter.
