The provisions of this act shall be severable. If any provision of this act is found by a court of record to be unconstitutional and void, the remaining provisions of the act shall, nevertheless, remain valid, unless the court finds the valid provisions of the act are so essentially and inseparably connected with, and so depend upon the void provision, that it cannot be presumed the General Assembly would have enacted the remaining valid provisions without the void one, or unless the court finds the remaining valid provisions, standing alone, are incomplete and are incapable of being executed in accordance with the legislative intent.
