The act requires the Office of Administrative Law to provide for the official compilation, printing, and publication of state agency regulations, known as the California Code of Regulations. This bill would provide that the full text of the California Code of Regulations shall bear an open access creative commons attribution license, allowing any individual, at no cost, to use, distribute, and create derivative works based on the material for either commercial or noncommercial purposes.
