§ 11568 Legislative Supremacy Clause

Key Takeaways

  • •This law says that no new law can change or override it unless the new law specifically says so.
  • •If a new law wants to change this one, it has to say clearly that it’s changing this law.
  • •This law stays the same unless another law directly says it’s changing it.

Example

Imagine there’s a rule at school that says no running in the halls. Later, the school makes a new rule that says you can run in the halls if you’re playing tag.

The new rule has to say it’s changing the old ‘no running’ rule. If it doesn’t say that, the old rule still applies, and you can’t run in the halls.
