Controversial for its immense population, diversity and geographical jurisdiction.
Field preemption occurs when federal regulations so completely occupy a field that it is reasonable to infer Congress’s intent to exclusively regulate the field. To open the door for states to overlay FARs with home grown compliance statutes of their own affection seems Byzantine if that is what's happening here?
