“[u]nder both federal and state due process clauses, it must be shown that the [statute] was rationally or reasonably related to a proper legislative purpose.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Legislature is the appropriate branch of the government to deal with this matter because it can conduct hearings to determine the extent of the need, the amount of funds required, and the numerous related factors involved. While the legislature can view the full spectrum of the problem, the courts, which do not have the means or facilities to adequately study the problem or provide the remedy, can only deal with the problem on a case by case basis. Mississippi Municipal Ass'n, Inc. v. State, 390 So.2d 986, 988 (Miss.1980) (citations omitted). For these reasons, the ... judgement of the trial court [declaring the statutory amendments unconstitutional] is reversed and rendered.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[w]hen a statute can be interpreted either as constitutional or unconstitutional, the Supreme Court has long held that they will adopt the constitutional construction. If possible, they will construe it so as `to enable it to withstand the constitutional attack and to carry out the purpose embedded in the [statute].'”
