Sec. 903. Application of State law

    No provision of this subchapter shall be construed as indicating an 
intent on the part of the Congress to occupy the field in which that 
provision operates, including criminal penalties, to the exclusion of 
any State law on the same subject matter which would otherwise be within 
the authority of the State, unless there is a positive conflict between 
that provision of this subchapter and that State law so that the two 
cannot consistently stand together.
