§ 55-19-47. Construction of chapter.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to violate any provision of the federal or state constitutions, and all acts done under this chapter shall be done in such manner as will conform thereto, whether therein expressly provided or not. Where any procedure thereunder may be held by any court to be violative of either of such constitutions, the district shall have the power by resolution to provide any alternative procedure conformable with such constitutions. If any provisions of this chapter shall be invalid, such fact shall not affect the creation of the district or the validity of any other provision of this chapter, and the legislature here declares that it would have permitted the creation of the district and enacted the valid provisions of this chapter, notwithstanding the invalidity of any other provision or provisions thereof.
