Congressional Republicans are seeking to pass a law blocking regulations put into effect by the federal Department of Labor that allowed for Connecticut’s historic program.

Rep. Henry Genga was sworn in for a two-year term today when the General Assembly convened for its 2017 session. Rep. Genga outlined his priorities for 2017 in a message to voters.

Much of the legislation the General Assembly passed in 2016 went into effect during the summer, but there were some laws that became effective Jan. 1, 2017. Here's a look at some of those laws.

Representative Henry Genga joined Senator Tim Larson and Representative Jason Rojas in welcoming a $3 million grant approved Tuesday by the State Bond Commission to assist Goodwin College with the start-up costs for its Advanced Manufacturing Project Center that furthers the integration goals of the Sheff vs. O’Neill decision.

Rep. Henry Genga joins his colleagues in announcing that they have obtained an additional $915,000 for the East Hartford school system in the new state budget approved earlier this month. The extra funding will help the town because of its inordinate percentage of students who attend magnet schools outside of East Hartford.

For Representative Henry Genga, protecting firefighters and making sure they're treated fairly is important. That is why he co-sponsored a bill that establishes a relief fund for wage replacements. The fund will be used for firefighters who are battling work-related cancer. House Bill 5262 provides compensation for current and former uniformed members of a paid or volunteer fire department who suffer from certain diseases as a result of performing their jobs.
