Which federal law or regulation preempts state law?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 is a federal law that regulates the privacy and security of health information in the United States. HIPAA preempts state laws that are contrary to its provisions, unless the state laws provide more stringent protections for health information12 HIPAA establishes a floor of federal standards for health information privacy and security, but allows states to enact laws that are more protective of individuals’ rights34 For example, some states may require more specific consent from individuals before disclosing their health information, or impose stricter penalties for violations of health information privacy and security. HIPAA also provides exceptions for certain state laws that serve a compelling public interest, such as public health, safety, or welfare.References:  https://www.findlaw.com/litigation/legal-system/the-supremacy-clause-and-the-doctrine-of-preemption.html
