2006 New York Code - Separability.

 
    § 324. Separability.    If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of
  this article or the application thereof to any person or  circumstances,
  shall,  for any reason, be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction
  to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the
  remainder of this article, and the application thereof to other  persons
  or  circumstances, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
  sentence,  paragraph,  or  part  thereof  directly   involved   in   the
  controversy  in  which such judgment shall have been rendered and to the
  person or circumstances involved.   It is  hereby  declared  to  be  the
  legislative  intent  that  this article would have been adopted had such
  invalid provisions not been included.
