(B) This chapter and the various parts, sections, divisions and clauses thereof are hereby declared to be severable. If any part, sentence, paragraph, division, section or clause is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid, it is hereby provided that the remainder of the chapter shall not be affected thereby.
