MnSCU-MSUAASF Master Agreement 1999-2001

ARTICLE 26 - SAVINGS CLAUSE

Section A. Conformance to Law.

If any of the provisions of the Agreement are found by a court or other authority having jurisdiction to be in conflict with or contravene any Federal law or statute, State law or statute, executive order, or any rule and regulation promulgated pursuant to one of the above, such provisions shall be considered null and void and shall not be binding on the parties hereto; in such event, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is thus found to be invalid, either party shall have the right to reopen negotiations on that provision only.

Section B. Limit on Invalidity.

If any provision or portion of this Agreement is prevented from being put into effect because of applicable legislative actions, executive order or regulation dealing with wage and price controls, then only such specific provisions or portions specified in such decision shall be invalid, the remainder of this Agreement continuing in full force and effect for the term of the Agreement. However, any provision of this Agreement so prevented from being put into effect shall become effective at such time, in such amounts, and for such periods, retroactively and prospectively, as is permitted by law at any time during the life of this Agreement or any extension thereof.
