Sec. 848. Effect on State law
No provision of this chapter shall be construed as indicating an
intent on the part of the Congress to occupy the field in which such
provision operates to the exclusion of the law of any State on the same
subject matter, unless there is a direct and positive conflict between
such provision and the law of the State so that the two cannot be
reconciled or consistently stand together.
