Heading: the 1988 text of subdiv. 14 passes constitutional muster

Text: Plaintiffs assert that if the trial court's construction of § 155(14) were accepted as correct, Subdiv. 14 would become offensive to the Interstate Commerce, [23] as well as to the Due Process, [24] Equal Protection, [25] and Full Faith and Credit Clauses [26] of the U.S. Constitution. We recognize at the outset that a strong presumption favors the constitutionality of legislative acts. Legislative bodies are generally presumed to have acted within their constitutional power despite the fact that, in practice, their laws result in some inequality. [27] The reviewing court will uphold the statute unless it is clearly, palpably and plainly inconsistent with fundamental law. [28]
