7 U.S.C. § 17a — Separability of 1936 amendment

submitted 90 years ago by ch. 545 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 83 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If any part of the 1936 act that amended this chapter is ruled invalid, the older law it replaced still applies in that person's or situation's case. No ongoing legal case gets thrown out just because of this 1936 amendment — it must instead be resolved under that act's rules.

This section is a single, undivided provision. If a court finds that a provision of the Act of June 15, 1936 — which amends this chapter — or how that provision applies to a specific person or situation, is invalid, then the original section of this chapter that the 1936 act amended goes back into effect for that person or situation. Also, no legal proceeding gets thrown out (abated) just because this chapter was amended by that 1936 act; instead, it must be resolved according to that act's own rules.

If any provision of the act of June 15, 1936, ch. 545, 49 Stat. 1491, which amends this chapter, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, the provisions of the section of this chapter which is amended by such provision of said act shall apply to such person or circumstances. No proceeding shall be abated by reason of any amendment to this chapter made by said act but shall be disposed of pursuant to said act.
