California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 3 — Professions and Vocations Generally, Chapter 10.5 — App-Based Drivers and Services, Article 11 — Severability, Section 7467

(a) Subject to subdivision (b), the provisions of this chapter are severable. If any portion, section, subdivision, paragraph, clause, sentence, phrase, word, or application of this chapter is for any reason held to be invalid by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, that decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this chapter. The people of the State of California hereby declare that they would have adopted this chapter and each and every portion, section, subdivision, paragraph, clause, sentence, phrase, word, and application not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any other portion of this chapter or application thereof would be subsequently declared invalid.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), if any portion, section, subdivision, paragraph, clause, sentence, phrase, word, or application of Section 7451 of Article 2 (commencing with Section 7451), as added by the voters, is for any reason held to be invalid by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, that decision shall apply to the entirety of the remaining provisions of this chapter, and no provision of this chapter shall be deemed valid or given force of law.

Notes

Establishes general severability of the chapter so a court’s invalidation of one provision or application does not affect the rest. Establishes an exception for the specified provision added by voters: if any portion or application of that provision is held invalid, the decision applies to the entire remaining chapter and no provision remains valid or enforceable.
