Saint Paul, Minn., Legis. Code ch. 193 § 193.10
Severability
Operative Text
If any section, clause, provision, or portion of this chapter is determined to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, that section, clause, provision, or portion shall be deemed severed from the chapter, and such determination shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the chapter.
Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 193 § 193.10 is a standard severability clause, meaning that if any individual part of Chapter 193 is struck down or found unconstitutional by a court, only that specific part is removed from the law. The rest of the chapter continues in full force as if the invalidated portion had never been included. This provision is designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when isolated sections face successful legal challenges.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 193 § 193.10, property owners and managers can generally expect that the obligations and protections established throughout Chapter 193 remain in effect even if a court invalidates one particular section. Compliant operators typically continue following all other provisions of the chapter without interruption when a single clause is severed. This means that a legal ruling affecting one part of the chapter does not automatically relieve operators of duties established elsewhere in it.

Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 193 § 193.10 means that tenant protections found in other sections of Chapter 193 are not automatically eliminated if one part of the chapter is ruled invalid by a court. Tenants can generally continue to rely on the remaining provisions of the chapter to assert their rights, raise violations as defenses, or file complaints with the appropriate local body. Tenant-rights organizations can help clarify which specific provisions remain in effect and what options may be available under the chapter.
