A severability section is added to the 2016 Act
What the document says“If any provision of this Act, or the application of a provision of this Act to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of this Act, and the application of such provision to other persons and circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.”
A new section 6, headed Severability, added at the end of the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016 (22 U.S.C. 1621 note). Within that Act, holding one provision invalid, or invalid as applied to a particular person or circumstance, leaves the rest of the Act and the other applications of that provision standing.
What the document actually says“If any provision of this Act, or the application of a provision of this Act to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of this Act, and the application of such provision to other persons and circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.”
If a court says one part of the law is bad, the rest still stands.
Laws often carry a rule like this. It keeps one bad part from sinking the whole law.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
