SEC. 3. ENFORCEMENT BY SECRETARY OF LABOR.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Labor shall monitor and enforce 
compliance of organized camps subject to section 13(a)(18) of the Fair 
Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 213(a)(18)). In monitoring and 
enforcing such compliance, the Secretary shall--
            (1) implement a system for the routine reporting of 
        fatalities and serious injuries or illnesses;
            (2) implement procedures for conducting inspection and 
        verifying information provided to the Secretary by such camps;
            (3) investigate complaints received regarding such camps;
            (4) require appropriate training, including knowledge of 
        outdoor camping, for camp inspectors; and
            (5) compile statistics based on the information in the 
        reports required to be submitted by such camps under section 
        13(a)(18)(C) of such Act (29 U.S.C. 213(a)(18)(C)); and
            (6) based at least in part on the statistics compiled under 
        subparagraph (C), determine the areas in which additional 
        safety standards are necessary and prescribe appropriate 
        regulations.
    (b) Investigative Authority.--In monitoring and enforcing 
compliance under subsection (a), the Secretary of Labor may--
            (1) enter and inspect such a camp and its records, question 
        the employees of such camp, and investigate facts, conditions, 
        practices, or other matters, to the extent the Secretary deems 
        necessary or appropriate; and
            (2) administer oaths and examine witnesses under oath, 
        issue subpoenas, and compel the attendance of witnesses and 
        other relevant records.

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.
