California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re Gadlin, 10 Cal.5th 915, 272 Cal.Rptr.3d 879, 477 P.3d 594 (Cal. 2020):
the relevant principles of interpretation differ when an agency has promulgated regulations to give force to a constitutional provision, rather than a statutory provision. The parties in this case have not suggested an alternative framework to interpret agency regulations authorized by constitutional provisions, and we see no reason to think a different framework would lead to a different result. Therefore, for purposes of this case we proceed as though the ordinary analytical approach applies. (Cf. Samara v. Matar (2018) 5 Cal.5th 322, 330, 234 Cal.Rptr.3d 446, 419 P.3d 924.)
