California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Spears, 40 Cal.App.4th 1683, 48 Cal.Rptr.2d 634 (Cal. App. 1995):

"... An addition or subtraction in relation to the volume of the duties required to be performed by an officer, which does not substantially affect the primary duties of his office, is not such a change of duties as would prevent immediate effectiveness of legislation properly declared to be urgent." (20 Cal.2d at p. 37, 123 P.2d 488, italics added; see also People v. Robertson (1982) 33 Cal.3d 21, 47, 188 Cal.Rptr. 77, 655 P.2d 279.)
