May 23, 2025 – Request for Information Regarding Publication of the Official California Code of Regulations and the California Regulatory Notice Register

The Office of Administrative Law (OAL) is responsible for compiling and publishing the Official California Code of Regulations (CCR) and the California Regulatory Notice Register (Notice Register), both in hardcopy and online.  The current contract for publication of the CCR and Notice Register ends on December 31, 2025, and OAL intends to issue one or more Request(s) for Proposal(s) in 2025 for the future publication of the CCR and Notice Register. 

The CCR currently consists of 28 Titles published on 8½ by 11-inch paper in 40 three-ring binders.  The CCR, which includes a Master Table of Contents and Master Index, contains more than 31,000 pages.  Pursuant to Government Code section 11344, the CCR is updated weekly.  The CCR publisher is responsible for producing the hardcopy and online versions of the CCR, updating the CCR weekly, and publishing the Notice Register once each week. Under the current contract, the state of California does not pay the CCR publisher for services:  the publisher pays the state compensation for the exclusive right to publish the Official CCR.  You may request a copy of the existing contract by emailing the contact person listed below.

OAL invites any interested person to provide information or suggestions that may assist OAL in contracting for the future publication of the CCR and Notice Register.

• The broadest possible information concerning the CCR and Notice Register (both the print and online versions)
• Suggestions or comments of relevance to the publication of the CCR or Notice Register
• The submission of information relating to the publication of other states’ administrative codes or other official documents, or to the development or maintenance of online searchable reference material
• The names and details of potential contractors for publishing the CCR and welcomes information about potential contractors

(Please note that all letters, emails, records of phone messages or other documents that OAL receives in response to this request will be public records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act)

Any interested person may respond to this request for information or ask to be added to the CCR Contract Distribution List for future communications on this topic.  Responses to this request for information, or requests to be added to the CCR distribution list, should be sent no later than June 30, 2025, to the contact person listed below.
