156 - Separability.

§  156.  Separability.  If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of  this article or the application thereof to any person or  circumstances,  shall,  for any reason, be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction  to be invalid, such judgments shall not affect,  impair,  or  invalidate  the  remainder  of  this  article,  and the application thereof to other  person or circumstances, but shall be confined in its operation  to  the  clause,  sentence,  paragraph,  or part thereof directly involved in the  controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered and  to  the  person  or  circumstances  involved.  It  is  hereby  declared to be the  legislative intent that this article would have been  adopted  had  such  invalid provisions not been included.
