The specific derogates from the general.

Explanation

When a general and a specific provision conflict, the specific provision controls; the legislature is presumed to have enacted the special rule with the general one in mind.

Where this applies

• The specific provision should control over the general one when they conflict.
• A specific rule overrides a general rule on the same subject.
• When there's a conflict between a broad statute and a narrow one, the narrow one wins.
