§ 19-19. Severability  


Latest version.
  • If any provision of this chapter is rendered invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, or by any federal or state agency having jurisdiction over its subject matter, or is determined by that court or agency to require modification in order to conform to the requirements of any paramount law or regulation, then that provision will be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent part of this chapter, and such invalidity will not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions. If any paramount federal or state law or regulation is subsequently repealed or amended so that the provision of this chapter that is rendered invalid or subject to modification is no longer in conflict with that law or regulation, then that provision will again become effective and will thereafter be binding on the city and any affected cable operator or telecommunications service provider; provided, however, that the city must give the affected cable operator or telecommunications service provider thirty (30) days written notice of that change before requiring compliance with that provision, or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required for the cable operator or telecommunications service provider to comply with that provision.
