29 U.S.C. § 144 — Separability

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If any part of this chapter is ruled invalid, the rest still stands. This also applies if applying a part to some person or situation is ruled invalid. The rest of the chapter still applies to other persons and situations.

This is a severability clause. It protects the rest of the law if one part is struck down. If a provision of this chapter, or its application to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, that does not affect the rest of the chapter. The rest stays in effect. The same rule applies to the application of that provision to other persons or circumstances not covered by the invalid application — it still applies to them normally.

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