This article shall supersede and replace all other state and local laws relating to the procedures and requirements for the consolidation and dissolution of local government entities to the extent such laws are not consistent with this article, provided, however, that the provisions of any other state or local law now in effect or hereafter enacted that are less restrictive or burdensome than those provided in this chapter shall govern during the period in which such provisions are in effect. A state or local law that imposes procedures and requirements for consolidation and dissolution not addressed by this article is deemed inconsistent.
