If a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment on the merits that:

1. (1) Is based on federal law;
2. (2) Is no longer subject to appeal; and

3. (3) Substantially limits or impairs the essential elements of sections 239-21 to 239-24,

   then sections 239-21 to 239-24 are invalid and have no legal effect as of the date of entry of the judgment.
