If any section of the revised statutes, supplement or pocket part, or of any act of the general assembly is amended or reenacted by more than one act at the same session of the general assembly, the section may be incorporated in the revised statutes edition, supplement or pocket part as amended or altered by the several acts if the amendments, changes or alterations can be incorporated in the section in such manner as to make the section intelligible.

(L. 1959 S.B. 88, A.L. 1969 H.B. 685) (1990) General rule in Missouri is that acts adopted in same session are to be construed in harmony, and if they cannot be construed in harmony, then more specific act takes precedence over general. Later in time rule for laws adopted in same session does not apply unless there are different effective dates. Date governor approves bill or date general assembly passes bill is not legally significant. Berdella v. Pender, 821 S.W.2d 846 (Mo. en banc).
