According to the Office of Legislative Counsel, which produces the legislative publications, the New Laws Report is a listing of all bills enacted in a calendar year during the Legislative Session.

Joint Rule 13.3. provides: “The Legislative Counsel shall compile and prepare for publication a summary digest of legislation passed at each regular and extraordinary session, which digest shall be prepared in a form suitable for inclusion in the publication of statutes. The digest shall be printed as a separate legislative publication on the order of the Joint Rules Committee, and may be made available to the public in the quantities, and at the prices, determined by the Joint Rules Committee.”

This legislative publication provides an index that identifies the bill and chapter number, lead author, and the subject matter of the measure. All bills on the list become effective on January 1 following the year of enactment, unless otherwise noted.

The following is the first page of the most recent New Laws Report, which covers the 2022 California Legislative Session:
