N.Y. General Municipal Law § 499: Severability

§ 499. Severability. If any provision of this article or the

application thereof to any municipality, person or circumstances shall

be adjudged unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, the

remainder of this article or the application thereof to other

municipalities, persons and circumstances shall not be affected thereby,

and the legislature hereby declares that it would have enacted this

article without the invalid provision or application, as the case may

be, had such invalidity been apparent.
