What is the purpose of the Separability Clause in legislation?

The purpose of the Separability Clause in legislation is to ensure that if any provision of the law is found to be invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining provisions can still remain in effect. This clause is essential for preserving the integrity of the legislative intent and functionality of the law, allowing it to continue to serve its purpose even if a part of it is challenged or struck down in court. By including a Separability Clause, lawmakers express their intention that the law function as a whole, allowing the valid sections to operate independently from those parts that may be deemed invalid. This helps to prevent the entire law from becoming ineffective due to a single problematic provision.
