SEC. 4. EFFECT ON STATE LAW.

    (a) Equal or Greater Protection Under State Law.--Section 13(a)(18) 
of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 213(a)(18)) preempts 
a State's laws regarding camp safety, unless the Secretary of Labor 
determines that such State's laws provide substantially the same, or 
greater, protection for campers as such section, but such State's laws 
are only preempted to the extent that the Secretary determines that 
they provide lesser protection for campers than such section.
    (b) Judicial Review of Determination by Secretary.--A State 
aggrieved by a determination under subsection (a) may bring an action 
in an appropriate United States district court for review of such 
determination.
    (c) Effect of Compliance With Equivalent State Law.--A person that 
complies with a State law which the Secretary of Labor has determined 
under subsection (a) provides substantially the same, or greater, 
protection for campers as section 13(a)(18) of the Fair Labor Standards 
Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 213(a)(18)) shall be deemed to have complied 
with the requirements of such section.
