California administrative law refers to the law created by the California governor and California administrative agencies, including:

• Regulations: law passed by agencies to implement statutes passed by the legislature. 
• Guidance: rules established by agencies without following the process for creating regulations. Common examples include handbooks and advice letters.
• Administrative decisions: "cases" decided by agency staff, rather than by the court
• Executive orders and proclamations: orders and ceremonial statements issued by the California governor

The California Administrative Procedure Act (Cal. Gov’t. Code § 11340 et seq.) is the statute that outlines the powers and boundaries of the administrative functions. The basic working tool of regulatory law is the California Code of Regulations(CCR). 

People often deal with administrative agencies and administrative law when they apply for government benefits. For example, Congress has passed laws that allow disabled individuals to receive government assistance. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is the administrative agency created to implement Congress's social security and disability laws

The Office of Administration Law  publishes three primary publications for California:
1)  California Code of Regulations,
2)  California Code of Regulations supplement and the
3)  California Regulatory Notice Register 

The CCR contains regulations duly adopted pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by California state agencies. Generally speaking, after OAL approves a proposed regulation adopted by a state agency, it then files the regulation with the Secretary of State.  The CCR is updated weekly through the publication of the CCR Supplement (Register). The CCR Supplement (Register) is commonly and historically referred to as the “Register.”
