4.7 - CONFLICTS BETWEEN GENERAL AND SPECIAL STATUTES.

        4.7  CONFLICTS BETWEEN GENERAL AND SPECIAL STATUTES.

         If a general provision conflicts with a special or local
      provision, they shall be construed, if possible, so that effect is
      given to both.  If the conflict between the provisions is
      irreconcilable, the special or local provision prevails as an
      exception to the general provision.
