  • To the extent the conduct prohibited under this chapter also violates other provisions of the Township Code, those violations constitute separate offenses subject to additional fines and penalties as prescribed.

SECTION 2. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof.

SECTION 3. This Ordinance shall take effect 20 days after its final passage and approval by Mayor or as otherwise specified in N.J.S.A.. 40:69A-181(b).
