If a court strikes down any part of this campaign finance law, or its application to some person or situation, the rest of the law and its application elsewhere stay valid. This is a standard severability clause.
This is a severability clause. It says that if any provision of this Act, or the way that provision applies to a particular person or set of circumstances, is ever held invalid, that ruling does not affect the rest of the Act. The remaining provisions of the Act stay valid, and they continue to apply normally to other people and other circumstances, even though one piece was struck down.
If any provision of this Act, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of the Act and the application of such provision to other persons and circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
