Sec. 927. 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.
