AB 795: California Commission on the United States Semiquincentennial.
What AB 795 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill would establish a new commission to plan and coordinate commemorations of the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence and the American revolution. The commission would operate as an independent advisory body, supported by private funding and in-kind contributions, and would develop educational programs, community events, and public exhibits to commemorate the anniversary. The commission would not be able to transact business until it has sufficient private funds available, and if it does not meet this requirement by a certain date, it would be dissolved and any remaining funds would be returned to contributors. The records and files of the commission would be deposited with the state archives after a certain period.
