in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a court strikes down any part of this Act, the rest of the Act stays valid. That also holds if a provision is struck down only as applied to one person or situation.

This is a severability clause. If a court finds any provision of this Act invalid — either on its own or as applied to a particular person or situation — the rest of the Act keeps working. The rest of the Act, and how it applies to other people or situations, is not affected by that ruling.

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