TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 55--COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCES
Sec. 3507. Priority of laws
Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed as indicating
an intent on the part of the Congress to change the existing
relationship of other Federal laws to the law of a State, or a political
subdivision of a State, or to relieve any person of any obligation
imposed by any law of any State, or political subdivision of a State. No
provision of this chapter shall be construed to invalidate any provision
of State or local law unless there is a direct conflict between such
provision and the law of the State, or political subdivision of the
State, so that the two cannot be reconciled or consistently stand
together. This chapter shall in no way be interpreted to interfere with
a State's right to protect, rehabilitate, preserve, and restore lands
within its established boundary.
