California Code of Regulations
Encyclopedia
California Code of Regulations (CCR) contains the text of the regulation
s that have been formally adopted by state agencies. They are reviewed, approved, and made available to the public by the California Office of Administrative Law
(OAL), and are also filed with the Secretary of State.
The CCR consists of 28 titles and contains the regulations of approximately 200 regulatory agencies. OAL contracts with Barclays, a division of Thomson Reuters, to provide a free online version of the official CCR, which is currently provided on the Web
through a Westlaw
-based interface.
The CCR's ancestor, the California Administrative Code (CAC), resulted from efforts that began in 1941 to codify the growing body of state regulations. In 1988, the Legislature renamed the CAC to the CCR to reduce confusion with the enacted statutory codes.
