316.3 Declaration of policy — authorization — divisibility of application.
1. The purpose of this chapter is to establish a uniform policy for the fair and equitable treatment of persons displaced as a result of federally assisted programs or projects in order that the persons shall not suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of programs or projects designed for the benefit of the public as a whole and to minimize the hardship of displacement on the persons. The general assembly declares that relocation assistance for persons displaced by programs and projects is a necessary and essential part of the programs and projects. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the “Relocation Assistance Law.”
2. If a displacing agency subject to the provisions of the federal Uniform Relocation Act, or if another entity required or electing to provide any of the programs or payments authorized by this chapter, undertakes a project which results in the acquisition of real property or in a person being displaced from the person’s home, business, or farm, the displacing agency or other entity may provide relocation assistance, and make relocation payments to the displaced person and do the other acts and follow the procedures and practices as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the federal Uniform Relocation Act and this chapter. Displacing agencies may provide all or a part of the program and payments authorized under this chapter to persons displaced by any program or project regardless of the funding source. However, to the extent a program or a payment is provided, the program or payment shall be provided on a uniform basis to all displaced persons.
3. If a provision, clause, or phrase of this chapter, or application of this chapter to a person or circumstance is adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the judgment shall not invalidate the remainder of the chapter, and the application of the chapter to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected by the adjudication.
