Comparison Chart of Old and New Statute Numbering for the California Public Records Act (CPRA)

An aggravating modification was made to the statutory numbering of the California Public Records Act (CPRA) effective at the beginning of 2023, entirely relabeling and subdividing a large body of law. It’s not a bad thing in itself, but the problem is that virtually all of the caselaw on the CPRA uses the old statutory numbering and, at least in Lexis, there is no way to follow the links from the old statute to the new statute. This is quite annoying.

Therefore, here is a simple chart cross-referencing the old and new statutory numbering of at least some of the important components of the CPRA. I will add to this over time. (Edit: a second, more extensive, update is here.) Please make sure to verify any citations before using them in actual litigation.
