N.Y. Labor Law § 696-h: Savings clause

§ 696-h. Savings clause. 1. If any provision of this article or the

application thereof to any person, occupation or circumstance is held

invalid, the remainder of the article and the application of such

provision to other persons, employees, occupations, or circumstances

shall not be affected thereby.

2. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, 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.
