1-16 board, this subsection controls.
1-17 SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, sentence, clause,
1-18 or part of this Act shall, for any reason, be held invalid, such
1-19 invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions of the Act, and
1-20 it is hereby declared to be the intention of this legislature to
1-21 have passed each section, sentence, clause, or part irrespective of
1-22 the fact that any other section, sentence, clause, or part may be
1-23 declared invalid.
2-1 SECTION 3. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act takes effect on
2-2 September 1, 1995.
2-3 SECTION 4. EMERGENCY. The importance of this legislation and
2-4 the crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
2-5 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
2-6 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
2-7 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
2-8 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
2-9 passage, and it is so enacted.
