Nebraska Statutes 69-2711. Conflict oflaws; how treated
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the provisions of sections 69-2704 to 69-2711 and of sections 69-2702 and 69-2703 conflict and cannot be harmonized, then the provisions of sections 69-2702 and 69-2703 shall control. If sections 69-2704 to 69-2711 or any part of any such sections causes sections 69-2702 and 69-2703 to no longer constitute a Qualifying or Model Statute, as those terms are defined in the Master Settlement Agreement, then that portion of sections 69-2704 to 69-2711 shall not be valid.
