Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) specifically exempts state workers' compensation laws from its preemptive powers, allowing these state laws to continue to operate alongside the federal regulations established by ERISA. This exemption ensures that workers' compensation systems, which provide benefits to employees injured on the job, are not overridden or negatively impacted by the federal standards and protections offered under ERISA.
