DSHEA PREEMPTION OVER STATE LAWS NEEDS CLARIFICATION through the enactment of a complementary federal law, James Prochnow, an attorney with the Denver-based office of Patton Boggs, stressed to the Commission on Dietary Supplements. Speaking at the commission's second meeting, held March 8 in Salt Lake City, Prochnow urged the commission members to recommend that a law be passed confirming the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act's precedence over similar state laws.
