If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the provisions of §§ 10-50-72 to 10-50-92, inclusive, and of chapter 10-50B conflict and cannot be harmonized, then the provisions of chapter 10-50B shall control. If any provision of §§ 10-50-72 to 10-50-92, inclusive, causes chapter 10-50B to no longer constitute a qualifying or model statute, as those terms are defined in the Master Settlement Agreement, then that portion of §§ 10-50-72 to 10-50-92, inclusive, is not valid.
