          Original Committee Reference:  RULES


          SUMMARY:  Designates a specific portion of State Route (SR) 110  
          in the City of Los Angeles as the "Officer Joe Mata and Officer  
          Roberto C. Sanchez Memorial Highway."  


          The Senate amendments delete the Assembly version of this  
          resolution, and instead:


          1)Recount the lifetime accomplishments of Officer Robert Joe  
            Mata and Officer Robert C. Sanchez, both of whom were officers  
            with the Los Angeles Police Department.
          2)Designate a specific portion of SR 110 between Exit 1A and  
            Exit 1B in the City of Los Angeles as the "Officer Joe Mata  
            and Officer Roberto C. Sanchez Memorial Highway."

                                                                    Page  2




          3)Request that the California Department of Transportation  
            (Caltrans) determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent  
            with the signing requirements for the state highway system,  
            showing the special designation and, upon receiving donations  
            from non-state sources covering that cost, to erect those  
            signs.


          EXISTING LAW:  Assigns Caltrans the responsibility of operating  
          and maintaining state highways.  This includes the installation  
          and maintenance of highway signs.


          AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY, this resolution honored Ronald Reagan  
          for his many contributions to our country and celebrated his  
          life; and recognized February 6, 2015, as Ronald Reagan Day.


          FISCAL EFFECT:  According to the Senate Appropriations  
          Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.


          COMMENTS:  Officer Mata and Officer Sanchez were both officers  
          with the Los Angeles Police Department.  Officer Mata was a  
          United States Navy veteran, having served on the destroyer  
          U.S.S. Fletcher during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.  Officer  
          Mata was killed in a vehicle accident while responding to a  
          call.  He left behind a wife and two daughters.  Officer  
          Sanchez, originally from Mexico City, reportedly believed that  
          being a police officer was the most honorable way of serving the  
          community and protecting the innocent.  He was fatally injured  
          in a vehicle accident while attempting a traffic stop.  He left  
          behind his wife.
