Section 15.70 - Nonseverability clause

(a) Use. The nonseverability clause, which is rarely used, is included in a statute if the sponsor wants the entire statute to be declared invalid if any part of it is held unconstitutional or invalid. In the absence of such a clause, the statute will be construed to be severable.

(b) Form. A nonseverability clause may be in substantially the following form:

"The provisions of this act are declared to be nonseverable. If any provision of this act or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, the remaining provisions or applications of this act shall be void."
