R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-72-15

If any provision of this chapter or the application of this chapter to any person or circumstances is held invalid, that 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 declared to be severable. 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.
