California AI Auditor Registry — scheduled

The AI-auditor registry is the administrative system that California's AB1405 requires GovOps to establish by January 1, 2029. The underlying law was signed in September 2026. From the 2029 date, providers must register before offering, selling or conducting the audits covered by the statute. This entry represents the required future system and its functions.

Registration connects eligibility to a continuing administrative relationship. Annual fees support reasonable administration costs, and a public channel receives allegations of misconduct. GovOps can remove auditors and refer violations, while specified accountancy misconduct can reach the existing professional regulator. Those procedures make registration more consequential than simply placing a company's name in a public directory.

The registry will become a useful place to trace who supplies assessment services and which institutions supervise them. Implementation records should reveal application requirements, fees and complaint procedures. Its relationship to SB813's verifier designation framework also deserves attention: permission to supply a covered audit and recognition in a particular assessment role are separate functions.
