Applicability of act.

The provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act apply to agencies made subject to its coverage by law, or by agency rule or regulation if permitted by law. In the event of any conflict between any existing law and the provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act, the provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act control unless specific exceptions are enumerated in the law or rule which makes an agency subject to the provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act, or unless a later law provides specific exceptions.
