	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2358, Hagman. State Capitol: Ronald Reagan statue.
   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 of General Services,
to plan a statue of Ronald Reagan in the State Capitol Building
Annex. The bill would require the Department of General Services and
the Ronald Reagan Centennial Capitol Foundation to approve the design
and any other aspect of the statue. The bill would require that the
planning, construction, and maintenance of the statue be funded with
private donations through the Ronald Reagan Centennial Capitol
Foundation. The bill would prohibit construction of the statue until
the Joint Committee on Rules has approved and adopted the plan for
the statue, and the Joint Committee on Rules and the Department of
Finance have determined that sufficient private funding is available
to construct and maintain the statue.
