All federal laws don't override all state laws but, in this instance, one 
of the provisions the marketing industry insisted on was that this federal 
law would.

In fact, one of the justifications for having a federal law to begin with 
was to have a single set of rules for commercial email senders to use 
because the growing mish mash of state laws was getting to be a compliance 
problem.
