[§516-82]  Severability.  If any part,
section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this chapter, or its application to any
person or transaction or other circumstances, is for any reason held to be
unconstitutional or invalid, the remaining parts, sections, sentences, clauses,
and phrases of this chapter, or the application of this chapter to other
persons or transactions or circumstances, shall not be affected.  The
legislature hereby declares that it would have passed this chapter and each
part, section, clause, or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one
or more parts, sections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this chapter, or its
application to any person or transaction or other circumstance, be declared
unconstitutional or invalid. [L 1975, c 184, §2(21)]



 



Case Notes



 



  Since Hawaii Land Reform Act contains comprehensive
severability clause, unless statute stands or falls as a whole, specific
invalid provisions may be separated out.  471 F. Supp. 871.
