Although federal enforcement policy may at certain times defer to states’ laws and not enforce conflicting federal laws, interested businesses and individuals should be aware that compliance with state laws in no way assures compliance with federal law, and there is a risk that conflicting federal laws may be enforced in the future, regardless of states’ laws.
