The following excerpt is from People v. MacIas, 137 Cal.App.3d 465, 187 Cal.Rptr. 100 (Cal. App. 1982):
This classification does not impinge upon fundamental interests and satisfies the rational basis test. (People v. Hernandez, 100 Cal.App.3d 637, 644, fn. 2, 160 Cal.Rptr. 607; In re Kapperman, 11 Cal.3d 542, 548, 522 P.2d 657.) "This test presumes the constitutionality of the statute and requires merely that the distinction drawn by the statute bear some reasonable relationship to a conceivable legitimate state purpose. [Citation.]" (People v. Hernandez, supra, 100 Cal.App.3d 637, 644, 160 Cal.Rptr. 607.)
