These penalties shall be in addition to any permit revocation imposed herein.
If any clause, sentence, phrase, paragraph or any part of this chapter shall for any reason be adjudicated finally by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this chapter but shall be confined in its operation and effect to the clause, sentence, phrase, paragraph or part thereof directly involved in the controversy or action in which such judgment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that the remainder of this chapter would have been adopted had any such provisions been excluded.
