AI SummaryVerified

This rule says that the way things are heard in this code follows the normal process, unless another law tells you to do it a different way.

Key Takeaways

•The usual hearing rules apply to everything in this code.
•If a specific law says to use a different method, that special method overrides this rule.
•This helps keep hearings consistent unless a special case says otherwise.

Example

A person gets a ticket for a noisy party and has to go to a hearing to argue their case.

They will use the regular hearing steps described in this chapter, but if another law says noisy‑party cases must be handled by a special board, then that special rule wins.
