in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a court strikes down part of this subchapter, or strikes down how it applies to someone, the rest of the law stays valid. The same provision still applies normally to everyone else it covers.

This is a severability clause. If a court finds any single provision of this subchapter invalid — either the provision itself or how it applies to a particular person or situation — that ruling does not affect the rest of this subchapter, the rest of this chapter, or how that same provision applies to other people and other situations. Everything else stays in force.

If any provision of this subchapter or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this subchapter and this chapter and of the application of such provision to other persons and circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
