    Section 320933 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act 
of 1994 (15 U.S.C. 45a) is amended--
            (1) in the first sentence, by striking ``To the extent'' 
        and inserting the following:
    ``(a) In General.--To the extent'';
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(b) Effect on State Law.--
            ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
        provisions of this section shall supersede any provisions of 
        the law of any State expressly relating to the extent to which 
        a product is introduced, delivered for introduction, sold, 
        advertised, or offered for sale in interstate or foreign 
        commerce with a `Made in the U.S.A.' or `Made in America' 
        label, or the equivalent thereof, in order to represent that 
        such product was in whole or substantial part of domestic 
        origin.
            ``(2) Enforcement.--Nothing in this section shall preclude 
        the application of the law of any State to the use of a label 
        not in compliance with subsection (a).''; and
            (3) in the third sentence of subsection (a), as so 
        designated by paragraph (1), by striking ``Nothing in this 
        section'' and inserting ``Except as provided in subsection (b), 
        nothing in this section''.

            Passed the Senate July 22, 2020.

            Attest:
