The New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (we'll call it NYCRR for short!) is like a giant rulebook for the state of New York. It contains all the official rules and guidelines that people and organizations in New York must follow. Think of it as the instruction manual for how things work in the state!

What is the New York State Rulebook?
The NYCRR is a collection of all the rules and regulations made by different parts of the New York state government. These rules help make sure everything runs smoothly and fairly. They cover many topics, from how schools operate to how businesses should act.
Who Makes These Rules?
These important rules are officially put together by the Division of Administrative Rules, which is part of the New York State Department of State. This department makes sure all the rules are written down clearly and are easy to find.
How the Rules are Organized
The NYCRR is divided into many different sections, called "titles." Each title is like a separate book or chapter that focuses on rules for a specific part of the state government. This makes it easier to find the rules you need.
Different Rulebooks for Different Jobs
Each state department or agency has its own set of rules within the NYCRR. For example, the Department of Health has rules about hospitals and food safety. The Department of Motor Vehicles has rules about driving and car registrations. This table shows some of the main titles and which state department they belong to:
