I was happy to meet with two students from Western Connecticut State University who came to the Legislative Office Building.

A law I championed with Representative Janice Giegler and led to passage this year requiring health insurance coverage for mammograms provided by breast tomosynthesis will become effective on New Year’s Day.

Representative Bob Godfrey announces that a $24,000 state grant has been approved for a Danbury company under a new program created this year by the legislature to help new businesses.

Godfrey is looking forward to leading the legislature in making changes to the way Connecticut funds education.

Deputy House Speaker Bob Godfrey and Rep. Janice Giegler on Friday praised Gov. Dannel P. Malloy for signing into law HB 5233, An Act Concerning Health Insurance Coverage for Tomosynthesis for Breast Cancer Screenings.

“I’d like to publicly thank the governor for signing this important legislation,” Godfrey said, “which is for the thousands of women across Connecticut who deserve and will get quality diagnostics and reliable and accessible health care."
