If a provision of §§ 13-1-1710 through 13-1-1770 conflicts with an existing provision of law pertaining to the member agencies of the coordinating council, notwithstanding the fact that §§ 13-1-1710 through 13-1-1770 have a later effective date, the earlier provision controls. Neither §§ 13-1-1710 through 13-1-1770 nor the coordinating council shall infringe upon nor diminish the self-governing autonomy of the agencies involved.
