No preemption of state law.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply with respect to a cause of action under paragraph (1) that is brought in a State that has a law or framework of laws with respect to the amount of an attorney's contingency fee that may be incurred for the representation of a participant or beneficiary-- And so forth. In other words, if the State has a framework of State laws, we in the Congress should not be trying to amend them, as I fear you are doing through an omission in yours. I have protected it in mine.
