(35 ILCS 630/20) (from Ch. 120, par. 2020)
Sec. 20.
If any clause, sentence, Section, provision or part of this
Article or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, other than
the applicability of the Article to messages originating or terminating outside
this State, shall be adjudged to be unconstitutional, the remainder of this
Article or its application to persons or circumstances other than those to
which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby. In particular, if
any provision which exempts or has the effect of exempting some class of
persons or some act or privilege of sending or receiving telecommunication
from the tax imposed by this Article should be held to constitute or to result
in an invalid classification or to be unconstitutional for some other
reason, such provision shall be deemed to be severable, with the remainder
of this Article, without said provision, being held constitutional.
