(a)  If  any clause, sentence, paragraph, subsection, section, provision
  or other portion of this local law or the  application  thereof  to  any
  person  or circumstances shall be held to be invalid, such holding shall
  not  affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this local law or the
  application of such  portion  held  invalid,  to  any  other  person  or
  circumstances,  but  shall  be  confined in its operation to the clause,
  sentence, paragraph, subsection, section,  provision  or  other  portion
  thereof  directly  involved  in  such  holding  or  to  the  person  and
  circumstances therein involved.
    (b) If any provision of  this  local  law  is  inconsistent  with,  in
  conflict with, or contrary to any other provision of law, such provision
  of this local law shall prevail over such other provision and such other
  provision  shall  be deemed to have been amended, superseded or repealed
  to the extent of such inconsistency, conflict or contrariety.
