(a)
Where there is a conflict between this article and a subsequent franchise, franchise
resolution, or franchise agreement, this article shall control and prevail, unless
administratively or judicially determined invalid, unenforceable, or unconstitutional,
or unless the provisions of subsection (b) of this section apply to the franchised
cable operator and its franchise, franchise resolution, or franchise agreement.
(b)
Where a franchised cable operator receives an exemption, relief, or clarification
from one (1) or more provisions or sections of this article, or has one (1) or more
of its policies deemed comparable to a provision contained in this article, the franchise,
franchise resolution, or franchise agreement shall specifically note such exemption,
relief, clarification, or comparable policy. As a result, to the extent that such
an exemption, relief, clarification, or comparable policy is inconsistent with a provision
contained in this article, then the specifically noted exemption, relief, clarification,
or comparable policy language contained in the franchise, franchise resolution, or
franchise agreement shall control.
