7 U.S.C. § 17b — Separability of 1968 amendment

submitted 58 years ago by Pub. L. 90-258 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 103 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If any part of this 1968 Act, or how it applies to someone, is ruled invalid, the rest of the Act and its application to other people still stands. The chapter section changed by the invalid part reverts to applying in that specific case. No ongoing case is thrown out — it's decided under the rules in place before this Act.

This section is a single, undivided provision. If a court finds that a provision of this Act, or how it applies to a certain person or situation, is invalid, that doesn't affect the rest of the Act, and doesn't affect how that same provision applies to other people or situations — those stay valid. On top of that, the specific section of this chapter that got amended by the invalid provision goes back to applying to that person or situation. Finally, no case already underway is thrown out (abated) just because of this Act; it must instead be resolved using the rules in this chapter as they existed before this Act took effect.

If any provision of this Act or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of the Act and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, and the provisions of the section of this chapter which is amended by such provision of this Act shall apply to such person or circumstances. Pending proceedings shall not be abated by reason of any provision of this Act but shall be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, in effect prior to the effective date of this Act.
