Answer:

The provisions of state codes should take precedence in such cases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Municipal competence to legislate and create legislative codes, although broad, has limitations. These codes and laws are subordinate to federal and state codes and laws. In this case, state laws have priorities at the municipal level and must be followed as absolute. For this reason, where municipal and state laws conflict, a hierarchy should be established that states that state laws take precedence over municipal laws. Therefore, in case of conflict, state laws should have priority.
