§ 13222 Regional Board Regulation Authority

• •The state makes big rules, and smaller groups in different areas make their own rules based on those big ones.
• •These smaller groups have to follow the big rules from the state when they make their own.
• •The rules are made to help these groups do their jobs the right way.

Imagine your school has a rule that all students must wear shoes. Your teacher then makes a rule that in their classroom, students must also wear socks with their shoes.

The state (like your school) makes a big rule, and the regional board (like your teacher) makes a smaller rule that follows the big one. The teacher’s rule about socks is based on the school’s rule about shoes.
