§ 28956 Severability Of Provisions

• •If one part of the law is found to be invalid or doesn't work, the rest of the law can still be used.
• •The law is designed so that if one piece is removed, the other pieces can still function on their own.
• •This rule helps keep the law useful even if a small part of it has problems.

Imagine a law that says you must wear a seatbelt and also have a special sticker on your car. If a court says the sticker rule is unfair, you still have to wear your seatbelt.

The seatbelt rule is separate from the sticker rule, so even if one part is removed, the other part stays in effect.
