Sec. 311.026.  SPECIAL OR LOCAL PROVISION PREVAILS OVER GENERAL.  (a)  If a general provision conflicts with a special or local provision, the provisions shall be construed, if possible, so that effect is given to both.
(b)  If the conflict between the general provision and the special or local provision is irreconcilable, the special or local provision prevails as an exception to the general provision, unless the general provision is the later enactment and the manifest intent is that the general provision prevail.
