California legal data from official sources, structured for AI and legaltech.

California is a common-law U.S. state. Its statutes are organized into codes — including the Civil, Penal, Government, Labor, and Health and Safety Codes — published by the California Legislature on leginfo.legislature.ca.gov, while administrative rules are consolidated in the California Code of Regulations (CCR) under the Office of Administrative Law. Case law comes from the Supreme Court of California, the Courts of Appeal, and the Superior Courts, with the federal district courts sitting in California alongside. Regulatory authority is spread across bodies such as the California Privacy Protection Agency, the Public Utilities Commission, the Franchise Tax Board and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the California Environmental Protection Agency and its boards, and the State Water Resources Control Board. Records are published in English.

California law moves quickly: the Legislature chapters hundreds of new statutes each session, agencies run continuous rulemaking through the CCR, and landmark regimes — the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the state's emissions and energy rules — keep evolving. Point-in-time data straight from the official source, with a retrieval timestamp and version on every record, is what keeps a California legal answer correct today.
