1. If any provision of sections 260.005 to 260.125 is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, the remaining provisions of sections 260.005 to 260.125 are valid unless the court finds the valid provisions of the statute are so essentially and inseparably connected with, and so dependent upon, the valid provision that the valid provisions, standing alone, are incomplete and are incapable of being executed. It is the intent of the Missouri general assembly that the valid provisions of sections 260.005 to 260.125 shall remain valid so long as they can so stand alone.

2. General revenue funds shall not be used to carry out the provisions of sections 260.005 to 260.125.
