California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 2 — Healing Arts, Chapter 10.5 — Massage Therapy Act, Section 4619
(a) This chapter shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purposes.
(b) The provisions of this chapter are severable. If any provision of this chapter or its application is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
(c) If any provision of this chapter or the application of these provisions to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the chapter that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this chapter are severable.
Notes
Requires the massage chapter to be liberally construed to carry out its purposes and establishes that its provisions are severable. If a provision or application is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications that can operate without the invalid portion; the statute repeats this severability rule in two subdivisions.
