Notwithstanding any provision of State law, no requirement may be imposed under State law regarding the wearing of a uniform by any Federal law enforcement officer. For purposes of this section, the term Federal law enforcement officer

In the case of any proceeding against a Federal law enforcement officer pending as of the date of enactment of this Act for a violation of any State law that is contrary to this section, such proceeding may not continue thereafter.
