Nothing in this chapter stops a state from passing and enforcing a rule identical to a federal rule made under this chapter. States can also pass stricter rules than this chapter's, except in areas covered by sections 14322(e) and 14323. So state law can generally match or exceed the federal standard.
This section does not stop a State* from enacting and enforcing a rule that is identical to a rule made under this chapter. Except where sections 14322(e) and 14323 say otherwise, this chapter also does not stop a State from enacting and enforcing a rule that is stricter than one made under this chapter.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit a State* from enacting and enforcing a standard or requirement that is identical to a standard or requirement established or promulgated under this chapter. Except as provided in sections 14322(e) and 14323 of this title, nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit a State from enacting and enforcing a standard or requirement that is more stringent than a standard or requirement established or promulgated under this chapter.
