Does anyone know whether this is true about ACA regarding exchanges?

Governor Christie stated on the Daily Show that even though NJ might have a federal exchange NJ can later change their mind and opt for a state exchange. I can't find anything to indicate that can be done once the federal exchange takes effect. Anyone know whether it can be or unequivocally cannot be done. And where in the law it provides that option?

1. Yes it is true states can later decide to operate their own exchanges.

Here is the actual law governing the exchanges:

See: 155.106 Election to operate an Exchange after 2014:

4. Thank you that confirms it.

IMO once there is a federal exchange I would think it would not convert to a state exchange. Maybe a combined type.
