SEC. 2.
 The Legislature finds and declares that a special act is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of unique circumstances applicable in Calaveras County to expedite the ability of the county sheriff to assist the United States Government’s activities in Iraq.
SEC. 3.
 This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order that the Calaveras County Sheriff may leave the United States in the near future to assist the United States Government’s activities in Iraq for periods exceeding six months, it is necessary that this bill take effect immediately.
