(a)The provisions of this division shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purposes.
(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)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.
