TITLE 29 - LABOR
CHAPTER 14 - AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT
29
U.S.C. Section 633. Federal-State relationship
(a) Federal action
superseding State action
Nothing in this chapter shall affect the jurisdiction of any
agency of any State performing like functions with regard to
discriminatory employment practices on account of age except
that
upon commencement of action under this chapter such action shall
supersede any State action.
(b) Limitation of Federal
action upon commencement of State
proceedings
In the case of an alleged unlawful practice occurring in a State
which has a law prohibiting discrimination in employment because
of
age and establishing or authorizing a State authority to grant
or
seek relief from such discriminatory practice, no suit may be
brought under section 626 of this title before the expiration of
sixty days after proceedings have been commenced under the State
law, unless such proceedings have been earlier terminated:
Provided, That such sixty-day period shall be extended to one
hundred and twenty days during the first year after the
effective
date of such State law. If any requirement for the commencement
of
such proceedings is imposed by a State authority other than a
requirement of the filing of a written and signed statement of
the
facts upon which the proceeding is based, the proceeding shall
be
deemed to have been commenced for the purposes of this
subsection
at the time such statement is sent by registered mail to the
appropriate State authority.
