If any clause, sentence, paragraph or part of this Chapter, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall for any reason be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this Chapter nor the application of such clause, sentence, paragraph or part to other persons or circumstances, directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that this Chapter would have been adopted had such provisions not been included or such persons or circumstances been expressly excluded from their coverage.
