Sec. 6807. Relation to State laws


(a) In general

    This subchapter and the amendments made by this subchapter shall not 
be construed as superseding, altering, or affecting any statute, 
regulation, order, or interpretation in effect in any State, except to 
the extent that such statute, regulation, order, or interpretation is 
inconsistent with the provisions of this subchapter, and then only to 
the extent of the inconsistency.

(b) Greater protection under State law

    For purposes of this section, a State statute, regulation, order, or 
interpretation is not inconsistent with the provisions of this 
subchapter if the protection such statute, regulation, order, or 
interpretation affords any person is greater than the protection 
provided under this subchapter and the amendments made by this 
subchapter, as determined by the Federal Trade Commission, after 
consultation with the agency or authority with jurisdiction under 
section 6805(a) of this title of either the person that initiated the 
complaint or that is the subject of the complaint, on its own motion or 
upon the petition of any interested party.
