Regulatory reading is easier to keep up with when it arrives on a schedule. The California Department of Real Estate publishes its Real Estate Bulletin quarterly, with issues appearing around the middle of March, June, September and December. Winter 2026 is the current issue.

For a coordinator working California files, the bulletin is the slow channel and the DRE Updates newsroom is the fast one. Enforcement notices, licensing changes and advisories appear in the newsroom as they happen; the bulletin collects and contextualises.
