That is incorrect. Notice this excerpt from the C&EN article:
....lawmakers allowed states to retain bans and other chemical-related laws and regulations that were enacted by April 22 of this year. If EPA either determines a compound poses no unreasonable risk to human health or the environment or decides to regulate the substances, the law forbids states from acting on that chemical. States, however, may act on chemicals that EPA hasn"t reviewed or isn"t in the process of assessing.
(Emphasis added.)

And the damn CSA took away California's and any other state's right to do any further restriction on their own. Nice you would give up your rights to the chemical industry without a whimper.
