Creates provisions regarding the severability of provisions in a legislative act
Second Read and Referred S General Laws Committee
Summary
The bill amends Missouri statutes to create a severability provision. It directs courts to strike any unconstitutional part of a legislative act while preserving the rest, unless clear and convincing evidence shows the General Assembly would not have enacted the remaining provisions without the invalid part. The goal is to keep laws effective even when portions are invalidated.
