1985Retrospective The second part of the Weaver test is whether the 1982 amendments are retrospective. (1) For a law to be retrospective, "it must apply to events occurring before its enactment." ( Weaver, supra, 450 U.S. at p. 29 [ 67 L.Ed.2d at p. 23 ].) A retrospective law violates the ex post facto clauses when it "substantially alters the consequences attached to a crime already completed, and therefore changes `the quantum of punishment.'" ( Id., at p. 33 [ 67 L.Ed.2d at p. 25 ], citing Dobbert v. Florida (1977) 432 U.S. 282 [ 53 L.Ed.2d 344 , 97 S.Ct. 2290 ].) (2) We conclude that the 1982

2019The arguments include that the language of section 1001.36 reveals it was not intended to apply retroactively, the legislative history supports prospective application, the reasoning of the court in Frahs is not compelling, and, even if section 1001.36 were to be applied retroactively, it is not appropriate to remand whenever there is *230 proof in the record of simply one of the six statutory preconditions for diversion. 12 After completion of supplemental briefing, the Fifth District Court of Appeal decided People v.
