This is referring to the Supremacy Clause in the United States Constitution.

This particular clause of the US Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) states that the US Constitution and Federal Law supercede state and local laws. In other words, if there is a state law that is similar to a federal law, but the two have conflicting wording, the federal law will take precedence.
