Opinion text
Granted. The trial court has decreed, and the parties agree, that the Justice Department’s objection to La.R.S. 18:115(F)(2) renders that portion of the act invalid. However, that portion of the Act is severable, the other provisions of the Act are not affected, and the Act may therefore be given effect without the invalid provision. La.R.S. 24:175; State v. Cinel, 646 So.2d 309, 314 (La.1994); Succession of Lauga, 624 So.2d 1156, 1171 (La.1993); State v. Johnson, 343 So.2d 705 (La.1977); Roy v. Edwards, 294 So.2d 507 (La.1974); Gaudet v.
