If a court invalidates part of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act subchapter, the rest remains in effect. The court’s judgment is limited to the part directly involved in the dispute.

If a court with proper jurisdiction rules that any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of this subchapter—the “Migratory Bird Treaty Act”—is invalid, that ruling does not affect or invalidate the rest. The ruling applies only to the clause, sentence, paragraph, or part directly involved in the dispute.
