(1) The powers described in ORS § 171.605 to 171.635 are supplementary and in addition to those otherwise possessed by interim committees and their members. ORS § 171.605 to 171.635 are not intended to limit the powers that would be possessed by interim committees and their members had ORS § 171.605 to 171.635 not been enacted.

(2) The Legislative Assembly intends that no provision of any joint resolution creating an interim committee be construed to supersede any provision of ORS § 171.610 to 171.620, whether by implication or otherwise, unless the joint resolution specifically provides that its provision supersedes as to the particular interim committee that it creates.
