The provisions of this chapter are severable and if any provision, sentence, clause, section, or part of the chapter shall be held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person, circumstance, or time period, that illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionality, or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, sentences, clauses, sections, or parts of the chapter or its application. It is declared to be the legislative intent that this chapter would have been adopted had those provisions not been included or that person, circumstance, or time period been expressly excluded from its coverage.
