    This document summarizes key principles for interpreting statutes that relate to the same subject matter: 1) Statutes should be interpreted harmoniously and consistently with other laws on the same subject. 2) More specific statutes take precedence over more general ones. 3) When a special law refers to a subject generally covered by a general law, the special law governs. 4) When statutes cannot be reconciled, the later statute implicitly repeals the earlier one. 5) Higher level statutes take precedence over lower ones.
