Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(70 ILCS 200/205-100)

Sec. 205-100. Partial invalidity.

The provisions of this Article and the applications thereof to any
person or
circumstance are declared to be severable.

If any Section, clause, sentence, paragraph, part or provision of this
Article shall be held to be invalid by any court, it shall be
conclusively
presumed that the remaining portions of this Article would have
been passed by
the Legislature without such invalid Section, clause, sentence, paragraph,
part or provision.

If the application of any Section, clause, sentence, paragraph, part or
provision of this Article to any person or circumstances is held
invalid, such
invalidity shall not affect the application thereof to other persons or
circumstances.
