(a) General. The act (1 Pa.C.S. § 1971) provides that except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, a later statute shall not be construed to supply or repeal an earlier statute unless the two statutes are irreconcilable.

(b) Revision of statutes. Whenever a statute purports to be a revision of all statutes upon a particular subject, or sets up a general or exclusive system covering the entire subject matter of a former statute and is intended as a substitute for such former statute, such statute shall be construed to supply and therefore to repeal all former statutes upon the same subject.

(c) Existing local or special statute. Whenever a general statute purports to establish a uniform and mandatory system covering a class of subjects, such statute shall be construed to supply and therefore to repeal pre-existing local or special statutes on the same class of subjects.
