Add article description

The following is a list of California state constitutional offices. Please see Constitution of the state of California for further details.

Officers

These individuals (in the case of the Board of Equalization, its members) are specifically denominated by article V, section 14 and article III, section 8, of the Constitution as 'state officers', are generally elected, are restricted from receiving money from certain sources and have their salaries determined by the California Citizen's Compensation Commission.[1][2] The Treasurer and Insurance Commissioner are not explicitly created by the Constitution, but are still generally considered constitutional officers and are named as state officers in the Constitution.[3][4]

Courts

The California courts of record were created by article VI, section 1 of the Constitution.[11]

Judicial commissions

These commissions were created by article VI of the Constitution to administer the judiciary.

Constitutional agencies

These offices and bodies were specifically created by the Constitution, but their members are not generally known as 'state officers'. However, their decisions are generally reviewable through both certiorari and administrative mandate[15] and their a court's review of their factual findings is "limited to a determination whether those findings are supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record" in deference to their limited judicial powers.[16]

Public corporations

County officers

The Constitution requires the appointment of certain officers for counties in article XI, section 1.[25]
