Alongside the 2025 budget and CalRx, this bill marks the most aggressive effort in the nation to drive down prescription drug prices, boost transparency, and ensure savings reach consumers and families.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
