           SUMMARY  :  Authorizes the Ronald Reagan Centennial Capitol 
          Foundation (Foundation), in consultation with the Department of 
          General Services (DGS), to plan a statue of Ronald Reagan in the 
          State Capitol Building Annex.

           The Senate amendments  :

          1)Delete provisions creating a Ronald Reagan Memorial Review 
            Committee.

          2)Authorize the planning of a statue rather than the 
            construction of a memorial.  

          3)Prohibit construction of the statue from beginning until the 
            Joint Rules Committee has approved and adopted the plan for 
            the statue, and only if the Joint Committee on Rules and the 
            Department of Finance determine sufficient private funding is 
            available to construct and maintain the statue.

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill authorized the construction 
          of a memorial to Ronald Reagan to be erected in the State 
          Capitol Building Annex.  The Foundation would be authorized, in 
          consultation with DGS to plan and construct the memorial.  This 
          bill also created a Ronald Reagan Memorial Review Committee, 
          composed of the director of DGS, the State Historic Preservation 
          Officer, and a member of the Senate and Assembly.  DGS and the 
          Ronald Reagan Memorial Review Committee would be required to 
          approve the design and other aspects of the memorial.  All costs 
          of planning, construction and maintenance of the memorial would 
          be required to be funded exclusively through private donations 
          to the Foundation.

          Reagan.  The amendments also specify that there must be Joint 
          Rules Committee approval of both the plan and the financing 
          before construction may begin.
