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."
