§ 43-3-26. Conflicting general and special provisions.
Wherever a general provision shall be in conflict with a special provision relating
            to the same or to a similar subject, the two (2) provisions shall be construed, if
            possible, so that effect may be given to both; and in those cases, if effect cannot
            be given to both, the special provision shall prevail and shall be construed as an
            exception to the general provision.
