What kind of incident are you talking about that would not be covered by a state but would be covered by a federal law? In this Country, there are three levels of government, local, state, and Federal. Each can have its smaller units. A law or regulation can come from any level. Some people get confused by the difference. Sometimes people violate an administrative regulation. It is illegal to violate an administrative regulation. Since every administrative regulation is not the law books, they are not laws.
Such examples are school boards and library boards. A library board makes rules for the library operation with the assistance of the librarian. The librarian has an advanced degree and an understanding of library operations. One of the rules requires that people return their books or pay for them. One man refused to return his books or pay for them. He went to prison.
Schools have their own regulations. They have the force of law. The legislature does not need to approve every decision the school board makes. Still, no parent is allowed to walk on school grounds and demand that the school do things in a different way. That parent is operating illegally and violating state law. All sorts of stuff is covered by administrative law. It is not in the law books.
Other actions are covered by local ordinances.
