The governor was at the state Capitol in Hartford with other state officials to sign legislation protecting medical providers who offer reproductive care for out-of- state patients - as well as a law that protects patients' information.
Lamont also signed laws allowing pharmacists to prescribe birth control and emergency contraceptives.
"With liberty and justice for all, these are the American values, and I love what we are doing in Connecticut standing tall, and hopefully other states follow under our lead," Lamont said.
The governor also enacted a law that will mandate higher education institutions to address students' reproductive needs.
Institutions are required to develop a plan by January 2024.
