Sec. 2. Nothing in the Act in any way shall invalidate or affect or
be construed to invalidate or affect any valid license duly issued by the
State Board of Chiropody Examiners and in effect on the effective date
of this Act, or the lawful renewal or reinstatement of any license issued by
said Board.
Sec. 3. Severability clause. The provisions of this Act are severable.
If any word, phrase, clause, sentence, section, provision or part whatso-
ever of this Act should be held to be invalid or unconstitutional, it shall
not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof, and it is hereby
declared to be the legislative intent that this Act would have been passed
as to the remaining portions thereof, regardless of the invalidity of any
part.
Sec. 4. Emergency clause. The importance to the public of assur-
ing that chiropodists and podiatrists from bona fide reputable schools
of chiropody or podiatry which meet the approval of the State Board of
Chiropody Examiners may be considered for eligibility to take the exami-
nation for license to practice chiropody in this State creates an emer-
gency and an imperative public necessity demanding the suspension of
the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be read on three several days in
each House, and the same is hereby suspended, and it is enacted that this
Act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.
