The Florida Senate

The article on documents of title (Art. 7) does not repeal or modify any laws prescribing the form or contents of documents of title or the services or facilities to be afforded by bailees, or otherwise regulating bailees’ businesses in respects not specifically dealt with herein; but the fact that such laws are violated does not affect the status of a document of title which otherwise complies with the definition of a “document of title” (s. 671.201).

The following laws and parts of laws are specifically not repealed and shall take precedence over any provisions of this code which may be inconsistent or in conflict therewith:

The following laws or parts of laws, although not repealed, shall yield to and be superseded by any provisions of the code which may be inconsistent or in conflict therewith:
