(a)  The powers, authority and rights conferred by this part shall be in addition and supplemental to, and the limitations imposed by this part shall affect the powers conferred by, any other general, special or local law.

(b)  This part is remedial in nature and shall be liberally construed to effect its purposes of promoting the movement and transfer of people, goods and merchandise to, from and through the boundaries of the authority, encouraging utilization of the natural resources in the authority, and promoting the growth and development of commerce and industry in the counties and cities. Such liberal construction shall not work to override the application of the general statutes, regulations or procedures to the administrative or financial management practices of the authority in the same manner as they apply to county governments.
