OAL eSubmissions Portal Mandatory April 1, 2026
Summary
The California Office of Administrative Law has finalized amendments to its eSubmission of Documents procedures in Title 1, Division 1, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, approved on February 4, 2026 and filed with the Secretary of State. Beginning April 1, 2026, all actions submitted electronically to OAL must be filed through OAL's eSubmissions Portal; email submissions will not be accepted after this date.
Entities that currently submit regulatory actions to OAL via email should initiate portal registration and workflow testing well before April 1, 2026 to avoid disruption. OAL has published training videos and a FAQ covering Section 101 certifications and digital signature requirements — those documents should be reviewed as part of transition planning.
