To permit States to enforce certain State requirements for the labeling 
                        of bottled spring water.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. BOTTLED SPRING WATER.

    Any State may enforce a requirement of the State respecting where 
water which is bottled must be collected before it may be labeled as 
spring water if such requirement is more restrictive than the Federal 
requirement respecting where water which is bottled must be collected 
before it may be labeled as spring water. Such Federal requirement is 
in regulations of the Secretary of Health and Human Services published 
at part 165 of title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
