Lamont joined military and political leaders as well as military family members at the Submarine Force Library and Museum at the Naval Submarine Base. After the bill-signing ceremony, he discussed the COVID-19 pandemic at a news conference.
The new state law will allow military spouses with certain professional licenses from other states to use those same licenses in Connecticut.
