This is commonly defined as the right of a federal law or regulation to preclude enforcement of a state or local law or regulation. It happens only if federal law or regulation takes precedence over state or local law or when state or local government touch on a federal field.

1) Where federal law expressly preempts state or local law, and

2) Where preemption is implied.
