§ 86. Severability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or
part of this article shall be adjudged by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or
invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation
to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or part
thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment
shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the
legislature that this article would have been enacted even if such
invalid provisions had not been included herein.
