The strange thing for me is that I would consider CA a 1 in terms of regulation. I never had to give my kids standardized tests. I never had to report to the local school district. I never had to have them seen by someone to for a periodic assessment. I never had to prove I was "capable" of homeschooling. I didn't need a degree or even a HS diploma. No one can ask to look at our curriculum (we have to teach basically the courses taught in other public schools in CA, but it doesn't say how or if it has to be done every year and there really are no guidelines). We can get a waiver if we don't want to immunize our kids (and it's now mandatory in the state to immunize if you go to daycare, preschool, private school or public school).
The only hoops we have to jump through are 1) to register as a private school each year; and 2) we have to keep attendance, and if asked by the appropriate authority, we have to show that single piece of paper (I used a calendar). That's it. I can't imagine what they would consider a 1, but CA certainly ranks up there in terms of ease of homeschooling.
Dfrecore- are you a member of HSLDA? I hesitate to copy/paste their California section. But if you are, will you take a second to look at what they have written?

I'm not since I'm no longer homeschooling my kids. But, I do know the laws pretty well. The problem is that they changed the website, and now it's in this funky format that doesn't actually reference the code numbers or wording of the law to make it easy to see; they used to have a sheet for each state that had the info in a much better format.
What specifically are you asking about?

I read Better Late than Early before I had kids- late 80's, but they had an earlier book I think. Better Late than Early was huge- absolutely a blockbuster in the homeschooling world."
School Can Wait, Home Grown Kids, plus others. but I think Better Late Than Early was still first. I could be wrong though, Jennifer :-)

I didn't read the first two you mentioned, but I could look them up....or not, it's 11pm lol. Still, that was back when homeschooling parents really needed those books to make it happen- there simply wasn't anything else.
