Sec. 4-28r. Cigarette manufacturers: Severability of provisions. If a court of
competent jurisdiction finds that the provisions of sections 4-28h to 4-28r, inclusive,
conflict and cannot be reconciled, then sections 4-28h to 4-28j, inclusive, shall supersede
the provisions of sections 4-28k to 4-28r, inclusive. If any section, subsection, subdivision, subparagraph, sentence, clause or phrase of sections 4-28k to 4-28r, inclusive,
causes sections 4-28h to 4-28j, inclusive, to no longer constitute a qualifying or model
statute, as those terms are defined in the Master Settlement Agreement, then that portion
of sections 4-28k to 4-28r, inclusive, shall not be valid. If any section, subsection, subdivision, subparagraph, sentence, clause or phrase of sections 4-28k to 4-28r, inclusive,
is for any reason held to be invalid, unlawful or unconstitutional, such decision shall
not affect the validity of the remaining portions of sections 4-28k to 4-28r, inclusive,
or any part thereof.
