§ 49-0311. Severability.

The provisions of this title shall be severable, and if any clause,

sentence, paragraph, subdivision or part of this title 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 or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in

which such judgment shall have been rendered; provided that if a

conservation easement created pursuant to this title is determined by

any court of competent jurisdiction to be land or water or an interest

in land or water subject to the provisions of article fourteen of the

constitution then the authority of the state to hold or acquire such

easement and the conveyance to the state of such easement shall be void

ab initio.
