What is the test for a single subject rule challenge to Proposition 115?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Whitman v. Superior Court, 2 Cal.Rptr.2d 160, 54 Cal.3d 1063, 820 P.2d 262 (Cal. 1991):

In Raven v. Deukmejian, supra, 52 Cal.3d 336, 276 Cal.Rptr. 326, 801 P.2d 1077, we rejected an identical single-subject rule challenge to Proposition 115. We also rejected a revision challenge to the entire measure, invalidating only a severable provision that would have required state courts to interpret certain enumerated state constitutional rights consistently with the federal Constitution. The principles expressed in Raven adequately dispose of petitioner's single-subject rule and revision challenges. (See 52 Cal.3d at pp. 349-350, 276 Cal.Rptr. 326, 801 P.2d 1077.)
