1195     Section 47.  If any other act passed during the 2010
1196Regular Session contains a provision that is substantively the
1197same as a provision in this act, but that removes or is
1198otherwise not subject to the future repeal applied to such
1199provision by this act, the Legislature intends that the
1200provision in the other act takes precedence and continues to
1201operate, notwithstanding the future repeal provided by this act.
1202     Section 48.  If any provision of this act or its
1203application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
1204invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of

1206or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
1207severable.
