§ 60-4910 Preemption by federal law, effect of.

If a court decides that part of this law conflicts with federal law and can't be enforced, that doesn't mean the whole law falls apart. Only the specific part that clashes with federal law gets set aside. Every other part of the law keeps working normally, as long as it can still make sense on its own.

This kind of rule protects the law as a whole from being thrown out just because one piece of it runs into a problem. Courts can cut out the piece that doesn't work and leave the rest standing. This gives the law more staying power, since a single legal challenge won't destroy the entire thing.
