Calif. bill would create annual Ronald Reagan Day (AP)

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California is a single step closer to substantiating an annual day honoring Ronald Reagan, the former president, administrator as well as actor.

The state Senate upon Thursday unanimously upheld a bill installation Feb. 6 as Ronald Reagan Day. It encourages schools to spend the day commemorating Reagan's life as well as accomplishments.

The legislation, which heads to the Assembly, is a single of three Reagan-themed bills Republican lawmakers goal to pass prior to Feb. 6, 2011. That would have been the 100th birthday of the conservative icon, who died in 2004.

Ronald Reagan Day would be the third special day of recognition in California dedicated to an individual.

The first honors conservationist John Muir. Last year, lawmakers honored Harvey Milk, a happy romantic as well as former San Francisco supervisor who was gunned down at city gymnasium in 1978.
