If a court finds that a provision of the Tobacco Escrow Fund Act [6-4-14 to 6-4-24 NMSA 1978] and of Sections 6-4-12 and 6-4-13 NMSA 1978 conflict and cannot be harmonized, Sections 6-4-12 and 6-4-13 NMSA 1978 shall control. If a provision of the Tobacco Escrow Fund Act causes Sections 6-4-12 and 6-4-13 NMSA 1978 to no longer constitute a qualifying or model statute as those terms are defined in the master settlement agreement, that provision shall be invalid.
