R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-4-25 — Severability

If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge to be invalid or unconstitutional
any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this chapter or the application
of it to any person or circumstance, the adjudication shall not affect, impair, invalidate
or nullify the remainder of this chapter, or the applications of this chapter, which
can be given effect without the invalid provision application, but the effect of the
court’s adjudication shall be confined to the clause, sentence, paragraph, or section
or part of this chapter, or application of it, which can be given effect without the
invalid provision or application so adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional.
