(a) Except as provided in Section 3713(b), if any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Article 37, or any application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions or applications of this Article. The People of the City and County of San Francisco hereby declare that, except as provided in Section 3713(b), they would have adopted this Article 37 and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, and word not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any other portion of this Article or application thereof would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
(b) If the imposition of the Fair Wages for Educators Parcel Tax in Section 3704 is held in its entirety to be facially invalid or unconstitutional in a final judicial decision, the remainder of this Article 37 shall be void and of no force and effect, and the City Attorney shall cause it to be removed from the Business and Tax Regulations Code.
