Assemblyman Heath Flora has advanced bipartisan bills that were approved by the Senate this past week and the Assembly previously; they reflect the priorities of the Assemblyman by focusing on California families, public safety and health workers.

“These bills are about solving real-world problems,” said Assemblyman Flora. “Improving public safety and rural hospitals are key to ensuring communities have solutions that matter.”

Bills passed by both chambers of the Legislature now await Governor Gavin Newsom’s signature or veto.

AB 2129 – State employees: compensation for firefighters, strengthening the pay for state firefighters and ensuring retention amongst state employees. After the Governor vetoed the original bill in 2025, Flora reintroduced it, and it once again passed both chambers unanimously.

AB 2571 – Reimbursement for pharmacist services, amending state law to improve reimbursement for pharmacist services for Medi-Cal and other health providers. The bill passed the Senate and the Assembly unopposed and with bipartisan support.

“I am proud to have had bipartisan support on these bills,” said Assemblyman Flora. “Honoring our public safety workers and ensuring our communities are taken care of are beneficial causes for the communities that we represent.”

Flora serves the state’s 9th Assembly District, an area which includes the communities of Oakdale, Riverbank and Escalon.
