Regulations
Under various statutes, the Board is authorized to adopt regulations to implement specified programs. To become effective, the Office of Administrative Law must approve these regulations. They must meet tests of necessity, authority, clarity, consistency, reference, and non-duplication as spelled out in Section 11349.1 of the Government Code.
Once adopted, Board regulations are placed in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). The Department then implements these regulations.
