Where it appears that a provision of this code regulates in an area governed by the United States Constitution, the Constitution of the State of Utah or competing federal or state law or regulation, the provision should be construed as narrowly as possible to avoid a conflict with those superior bodies of law.

If there are conflicting provisions of law within this code, the provision that is most particular to the subject matter at issue shall govern over a less specific provision.
