SAN FRANCISCO\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 (California Attorney General Rob Bonta \/ NEWS RELEASE)<\/strong> – California will restrict state-funded travel to Arkansas, Florida, Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia as a result of new anti-LGBTQ+ legislation recently enacted in each state. The states are a part of a recent, dangerous wave of discriminatory new bills signed into law in states across the country that directly work to ban transgender youth from playing sports, block access to life-saving care, or otherwise limit the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community. Many states pushing these new discriminatory laws are already on California\u2019s travel restrictions list. The new restrictions on state-funded travel to the states announced today are prescribed by law in California pursuant to Assembly Bill 1887 (AB 1887), which was enacted in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssembly Bill 1887 is about aligning our dollars with our values,\u201d\u00a0said Attorney General Bonta.\u00a0<\/b>\u201cWhen states discriminate against LGBTQ+ Americans, California law requires our office to take action. These new additions to the state-funded travel restrictions list are about exactly that. It\u2019s been 52 years to the day since the Stonewall Riots began, but that same fight remains all too alive and well in this country. Rather than focusing on solving real issues, some politicians think it\u2019s in their best interest to demonize trans youth and block life-saving care. Make no mistake: We\u2019re in the midst of an unprecedented wave of bigotry and discrimination in this country \u2014 and the State of California is not going to support it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In creating AB 1887, the California Legislature determined that California must take action to avoid supporting or financing discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans. To that end, the law\u00a0restricts\u00a0a state agency, department, board, or commission from\u00a0authorizing state-funded travel to a state\u00a0that, after June 26, 2015,\u00a0has enacted a law\u00a0authorizing, or repealing\u00a0existing protections against, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.\u00a0Each applicable California agency is responsible for consulting the AB 1887 list created by the California Department of Justice to comply with the travel and funding restrictions imposed by the law.\u00a0With the additions announced today, there will be a total of 17 states on California\u2019s state-funded travel restrictions list.<\/p>\n

Information regarding the reasons and timeline for each new state\u2019s inclusion on the AB 1887 list is as follows:<\/p>\n

Arkansas<\/b>
\nArkansas is being added to California\u2019s state-funded travel restrictions list as a result of Senate Bill 354, Senate Bill 289, and House Bill 1570. The first two bills were signed into law by the Governor on March 25 and March 26, respectively. The third bill was passed after Arkansas\u2019 General Assembly overrode the Governor\u2019s veto on April 6. Senate Bill 354, among other things, prevents transgender women and girls from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity. Senate Bill 289 allows medical providers to deny care to\u00a0LGBTQ+ Americans. Lastly, House Bill 1570 is the first law in the nation to prohibit physicians from providing gender-affirming healthcare to transgender minors, regardless of the wishes of parents or whether a physician deems such care to be medically necessary. Given the effective date for the new laws, Arkansas, pursuant to AB 1887, will be added to California\u2019s travel restrictions list on July 29, 2021.<\/p>\n

Florida<\/b>
\nFlorida is being added to California\u2019s state-funded travel restrictions list as a result of Senate Bill 1028. Signed into law on the first day of Pride Month, Senate Bill 1028 prevents transgender women and girls from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity. Given the effective date for the new law, Florida, pursuant to AB 1887, will be added to California\u2019s travel restrictions list on July 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

Montana<\/b>
\nMontana is being added to California\u2019s state-funded travel restrictions list as a result of House Bill 112 and Senate Bill 215. Signed into law on May 7, House Bill 112 prevents transgender women and girls from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity.\u00a0Signed into law on April 22, Senate Bill 215 overrides\u00a0existing state and local laws and policies that prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ+ Americans. It\u00a0threatens\u00a0to, among other effects, allow businesses to refuse a broad range of services to same-sex couples because of their sexual orientation alone.\u00a0Given the effective date for the new laws, Montana, pursuant to AB 1887, will be added to California\u2019s travel restrictions list on July 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

North Dakota<\/b>
\nNorth Dakota is being added to California\u2019s state-funded travel restrictions list as a result of House Bill 1503. Signed into law on April 16, House Bill 1503, among other things, repeals existing protections at\u00a0some North Dakota public universities by permitting\u00a0certain publicly-funded\u00a0student organizations to\u00a0openly\u00a0discriminate against LGBTQ+ students\u00a0by\u00a0restricting participation in those organizations.\u00a0It also limits the ability of universities and colleges to sanction or discipline student-on-student harassment. Given the effective date for the new law, North Dakota, pursuant to AB 1887, will be added to California\u2019s travel restrictions list on August 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

West Virginia<\/b>
\nWest Virginia is being added to California\u2019s state-funded travel restrictions list as a result of House Bill 3293. Signed into law on April 28, House Bill 3293 prevents transgender women and girls from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity. Given the effective date for the new law, West Virginia, pursuant to AB 1887, will be added to California\u2019s travel restrictions list on July 8, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
