Read California Title 22 Pharmaceutical Service Sections

Purpose

Retrieve the complete set of California Title 22 pharmaceutical-service sections hosted by Cornell Law, preserving each section's citation, heading, and regulatory text so it can be converted into a readiness checklist.

When to Use

Use for requests involving California Title 22 pharmaceutical services, pharmacy operations, medication handling, or related facility-readiness requirements. The default scope is the pharmaceutical-services article under Division 5, Chapter 3; use the article's linked sections rather than assuming a fixed section range.

Workflow

1. Navigate directly to https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/california/title-22/division-5/chapter-3/article-3.
2. On the loaded article page, run this single evaluator. It discovers the linked 22-CCR-{section} pages, fetches each page from the same Cornell Law origin, and extracts the text after its h1 until Cornell's metadata sections begin:

(async () => {
  const base = location.origin;
  const links = [...document.querySelectorAll("a[href]")]
    .map((a) => ({
      url: new URL(a.href, location.href).href,
      text: (a.innerText || "").trim(),
    }))
    .filter((x) => x.url.startsWith(base + "/regulations/california/22-CCR-"));
  const unique = [...new Map(links.map((x) => [x.url, x])).values()].sort((a, b) =>
    a.url.localeCompare(b.url, undefined, { numeric: true }),
  );
  const stop =
    /^(Notes|Source|Statutory Authority|History|Read this|Credits|Compare)/i;
  const rows = [];
  for (const link of unique) {
    const response = await fetch(link.url, { credentials: "same-origin" });
    if (!response.ok) {
      rows.push({ url: link.url, status: response.status, error: "fetch failed" });
      continue;
    }
    const html = await response.text();
    const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, "text/html");
    const heading = doc.querySelector("h1");
    let text = "";
    for (
      let node = heading?.nextElementSibling;
      node;
      node = node.nextElementSibling
    ) {
      const value = (node.innerText || node.textContent || "").trim();
      if (stop.test(value)) break;
      if (value) text += (text ? "\\n" : "") + value;
    }
    rows.push({
      citation: (link.url.match(/22-CCR-([^/?#]+)/i) || [])[1] || null,
      url: link.url,
      heading: (heading?.innerText || "").trim(),
      text,
    });
  }
  return JSON.stringify({ source: location.href, sections: rows }, null, 2);
})();

3. Turn the returned sections array into a readiness checklist by grouping requirements by topic and retaining the citation and source URL for every checklist item. Do not infer compliance conclusions beyond the retrieved regulatory text.

Site-Specific Gotchas

• Cornell uses the compact California section URL pattern /regulations/california/22-CCR-{section-number}, while the article index uses the hierarchical /regulations/california/title-22/division-5/chapter-3/article-3 path.
• The article page is the reliable discovery point for the current section set; do not hardcode only the sections seen in one run. The evaluator includes all linked California Title 22 CCR pages and sorts them numerically.
• Cornell places section content in sibling elements following h1; stop before Notes, Source, Statutory Authority, or History so citation metadata is not mistaken for operative requirements.
• Keep California Title 22 pages separate from similarly structured Texas TAC pages; jurisdiction and URL path are authoritative.
• Treat the output as regulatory research and preserve section citations when authoring the operational checklist; verify current law before implementation.

Expected Output

A JSON object containing source and an ordered sections array. Each section has citation, url, heading, and extracted text. Use those records to produce a cited California pharmaceutical-services readiness checklist.
