Section 2711. Severability

If  any  word, 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 word, 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.
