the city limits of the City of Tullahoma, Tennessee, but in no event less than one million
five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) shall be appropriated therefor annually.
SECTION 2. 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 the
act which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to that end the
