N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 86: Severability

§ 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.
