§ 36-0113. Miscellaneous.

1. In order to assure the continued availability of flood insurance in

any community described in subdivision two or four of section 36-0105 of

this article while it completes the process of qualifying as a

participant in the national flood insurance program, the department is

authorized and directed to provide technical assistance necessary to

enable such local governments to assume their responsibilities in as

expeditious a manner as possible.

2. The commissioner shall review, and appropriately amend or repeal,

all regulations of the department relating to the implementation of the

former article thirty-six of the environmental conservation law which

was repealed by the same chapter of the laws of nineteen hundred

ninety-two that enacted this article thirty-six.

3. Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to affect the

validity of any local law or ordinance heretofore enacted by any local

government.

4. If any provision of this article or the application thereof to any

person or circumstances shall be adjudged invalid by a court of

competent jurisdiction, such order or judgment shall be confined in its

operation to the controversy in which it was rendered, and shall not

affect or invalidate the remainder of any provision of any section or

the application of any part thereof to any other person or circumstances

and to this end the provisions of this article are hereby declared to be

severable.
