Chapter 10Miscellaneous

Section § 90019

Explanation

This law basically says that the rules in this section should be interpreted broadly to achieve their intended purpose. If any part of these rules is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it won't affect the rest of the rules that can still work without that part. The law encourages keeping the invalid portion as limited as possible, affecting only the specific part and situation involved. Additionally, if any rule in this section is overridden by federal law, that specific rule won't apply in those cases, but the rest of the rules will remain effective.

(a)CA Financial Code § 90019(a) The provisions of this division shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purposes.
(b)CA Financial Code § 90019(b) The provisions of this act are severable. If any provision of this division, or amendments to it, or regulations promulgated under it, or under such amendments, is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, then that invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions, amendments, or regulations that can be given effect without the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision, amendment, or regulation. Any invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall be construed as narrowly as possible and shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered and to the person or circumstances involved.
(c)CA Financial Code § 90019(c) To the extent that any provision of this division is preempted by federal law, the provision shall not apply and shall not be enforced solely as to the extent of the preemption and not as to other circumstances, persons, or applications.
