in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If any part of this chapter is found invalid, the rest of the chapter still stands. The same is true if a provision is invalid only as applied to certain people or situations. Other applications of that provision remain valid.

This is a severability clause. If a court holds any part of this chapter invalid, or holds that applying some part of it to a particular person or situation is invalid, the rest of the chapter isn't affected. The chapter — and that same provision as applied to other people or situations not covered by the invalid ruling — stays in effect.

If any provision of this chapter or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of this chapter or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.
