The state and federal Constitutions prohibit government from depriving a person of property without due process of law. (Cal. Const., art. I, §§ 7, 15; U.S. Const., 14th Amend., § 1.) These provisions guarantee appropriate procedural protections (see, e.g., Goldberg v. Kelly (1970) 397 U.S. 254 [90 S.Ct. 1011, 25 L.Ed.2d 287]) and also place some substantive limitations on legislative measures (see, e.g., Washington v. Glucksberg (1997) _ U.S. _ [117 S.Ct. 2302, _ L.Ed.2d _]; U.S. v. Carolene Products Co. (1938) 304 U.S. 144 [58 S.Ct. 778, 82 L.Ed. 1234]; Nebbia v. New York (1934) 291 U.S. 502 [54 S.Ct. 505, 78 L.Ed. 940, 89 A.L.R. 1469] (Nebbia)). The latter guaranty—sometimes described as substantive due process—prevents government from enacting legislation that is “arbitrary” or “discriminatory” or lacks “a reasonable relation to a proper legislative purpose.” (Nebbia, supra, 291 U.S. at p. 537 [54 S.Ct. at p. 516].)
