Governor Signs Eduardo Garcia’s Desert Healthcare District Board Equitable Election Eligibility Legislation

Tuesday, July 30, 2019

(Coachella – CA) Today, Governor Newsom signed AB 1095, Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia’s (D- Coachella) health access measure related to the newly-expanded Desert Healthcare District. This law offers slight amendments on board election eligibility for the newly-annexed territory; without this change the two board members appointed from the Eastern Coachella Valley areas would be prohibited from seeking election to the post following the conclusion of their respective terms.

“Our groundbreaking work to expand the Desert Healthcare District service boundary to include the entire Coachella Valley has already made major strides to improve the health and wellness landscape of our region. Board representation is an absolutely critical component to increasing the accessibility of these much-needed resources and achieving healthcare parity,” said Garcia.

AB 743 allows asthmatic children and families to breathe easier

Monday, July 29, 2019

As excerpted from The Desert Review:

AB 743 was signed into California law last week by Governor Gavin Newsom after months of advocacy by Comite Civico and community members.

AB 743 will allow asthma medication prescribed by Mexican doctors to be used in American schools. Before the bill was passed, the only medication allowed in schools had to be prescribed by American doctors; others were not allowed in school and had to be administered by a parent if necessary.

That created dangerous situations schools, such as Claudia Morales’ 12-year-old son. Morales has insurance through Simsa, a binational insurance with Mexico, and although she says he had the best allergy doctor, her son could not use the medication in school because it was prescribed in Mexico.
