          (Commission) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of  
          Ronald Reagan, as specified.  Specifically,  this bill  :  

          1)Establishes the nine member Commission as follows:

             a)   President pro Tempore of the Senate, the Minority Leader  
               of the Senate, the Speaker of the Assembly, and the  
               Minority Leader of the Assembly, or his or her respective  
               designee;

             b)   One appointee of the Governor; and,

             c)   Four appointees by the Ronald Reagan Presidential  
               Foundation, including one individual who served in Ronald  
               Reagan's Presidential Administration, one individual who  
               served in Ronald Reagan's Gubernatorial Administration, and  
               a former Governor.

          2)Requires the Commission to create appropriate means to allow  
            Californians to celebrate Reagan's life by honoring,  
            promoting, and remembering his achievements for this state and  
            country.

          3)Prohibits the Commission from using public funds and requires  
            the Commission to be solely supported by private funds.

          commissions within state government.

           COMMENTS  :  According to the author's office, "AB 1911 creates  
          the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission which will be tasked  
          with developing appropriate means to honor and promote the 100th  
          anniversary of Ronald Reagan's birth.  Born in 1911, Ronald  
          Reagan is the only person to have served as both the Governor of  
          California and the President of the United States.  Having been  
          one of the most influential Californians in history, Ronald  
          Reagan deserves special recognition for his service."
