Any Section or part of any Section in this Charter, insofar as it should conflict with the provisions of Charter Sections 12.200 through 12.203 or A8.420 through A8.431, or with any part thereof, shall be superseded by the contents of Charter Sections 12.200 through 12.203 or A8.420 through A8.431. Charter Sections 12.200 through 12.203 or A8.420 through A8.431 shall be interpreted to be consistent with all federal and state laws, rules and regulations. If any of the words, phrases, clauses, sentences, subsections, or provisions of Charter Sections 12.200 through 12.203 or A8.420 through A8.431 are held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a final judgment of a court, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining words, phrases, clauses, sentences, subsections, or provisions of Charter Sections 12.200 through 12.203 or A8.420 through A8.431. If any words, phrases, clauses, sentences, subsections, or provisions of Charter Sections 12.200 through 12.203 or A8.420 through A8.431 are held invalid as applied to any person, circumstance, employee or category of employee, such invalidity shall not affect any application of Charter Sections 12.200 through 12.203 or A8.420 through A8.431 which can be given effect. Charter Sections 12.200 through 12.203 or A8.420 through A8.431 shall be broadly construed to achieve their stated purpose.
