57-J. Authority of Governor to Arrange for Appointment
of Special Policemen for the Preservation and Protection of
Public Property Located Without the State. The Governor
of this State is hereby authorized, in his discretion, to make
application to the Governor of any other state for the appoint-
ment of special policemen for the additional protection of any
property situated wholly or partly in such other state, owned
by this State, or any political subdivision thereof, or by any
department or agency of either, or any tax or special district
therein, or in which any of the foregoing has any interest.
The State, political subdivision, department, agency or dis-
trict owning or having an interest in the property for the pro-
tection of which any such special policeman is appointed shall
be liable for the compensation and expenses of such policeman
and shall have full power and authority to provide or other-
wise arrange for the payment of such compensation and ex-
penses. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed
to relieve the state or the political subdivision thereof in which
such property or any part thereof is situated from its duty to
furnish for such property or part thereof such normal police
protection as it ordinarily and customarily provides for other
property situated therein.

57-K. Severability. If any provision of this act or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance is held
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or
applications of this act which can be given effect without the
invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions
of this act are declared to be severable.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That any and all other
laws or parts of laws, whether general or local, inconsistent
with the provisions of this act, be and the same are hereby
repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That this act is hereby
declared to be an emergency law and necessary for the imme-
diate preservation of the public health and safety, and having
been passed by a yea and nay vote, supported by three-fifths
of all the members elected to each of the two Houses of the
General Assembly, the same shall take effect from the date of
its passage.
