Council Members Cabrera and Kallos

 

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to separability of unconsolidated local laws

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Chapter 2 of the New York city charter is amended to add a new section 32-a to read as follows:

§ 32-a. Separability of unconsolidated local laws. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of an unconsolidated local law, or unconsolidated section or sections of a local law, shall be adjudged invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgement shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of such unconsolidated local law, or unconsolidated section or sections of such local law, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.

§ 2. This local law takes effect immediately.
