	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2358, as amended, Hagman. State Capitol: Ronald Reagan
Memorial.
   Existing law prescribes various duties for the Department of
General Services in connection with development and maintenance of
the park around the State Capitol Building.
   This bill would authorize the Ronald Reagan Centennial Capitol
Foundation, in consultation with the department and a specifically
created committee, to construct and maintain a memorial to Ronald
Reagan in the State Capitol Building Annex. It would require that the
planning, construction, and maintenance of the memorial be funded
with private donations through the Ronald Reagan Centennial Capitol
Foundation. It would prohibit construction of the memorial until the
Department of Finance has determined that sufficient private funding
is available to construct and maintain the memorial.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
