If subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of Code Section 10-13-3 shall thereafter be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, then this Act shall be deemed repealed, and division (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of Code Section 10-13-3 shall be restored as if no such amendments had been made. Neither any holding of unconstitutionality nor the repeal of division (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of Code Section 10-13-3 shall affect, impair, or invalidate any other portion of Code Section 10-13-3, or the application of such Code section to any other person or circumstance, and such remaining portions of Code Section 10-13-3 shall at all times continue in force and effect.” As of May 2025, no such decision has been issued.
