The act (1 Pa.C.S. § 1933) provides that whenever a general provision in a statute shall be in conflict with a special provision in the same or another statute:
(1) The two shall be construed, if possible, so that effect may be given to both.
(2) If the conflict between the two provisions is irreconcilable, the special provisions shall prevail and shall be construed as an exception to the general provision, unless the general provision shall be enacted later and it shall be the manifest intention of the General Assembly that such general provision shall prevail.
