N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law § 71-3611: Severability

§ 71-3611. 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 an environmental 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.
