California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Thursday that Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana, and Utah would be added to the list of states that California halts state-sponsored travel to due to recent LGBT restriction laws.
Ever since AB 1887 was passed in 2016, California has prohibited state-funded and state-sponsored travel to states with discriminatory LGBT laws on the books. Until Friday, 18 states have had travel bans enacted, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia. Many lawsuits by several of the affected states challenging the travel bans have been knocked down in courts across the country, including the Texas lawsuit going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2021 until they finally turned it down.
However, a flood of new laws in the first half of 2022 prompted Bonta to restart the bannings. Specifically, Bonta noted the number of new laws restricting transgender rights in the four states.

Virtue signalling.
IIRC there are a number of exceptions that render this almost meaningless in the real world of day to day state travel.
Oklahoma, Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana, Utah, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia need to reciprocate with their state funded travel and purchases.
The Kakistocracy of Commiefornia.
Great. Restrict liberal voters from coming too.
State sanctioned travel. LOL!! Is that really a thing?
I’m sure people in those states are devastated.
I have to wonder if this means that University and state college sports teams won’t be traveling to these states.
Good.
How can we get Pennsylvania on the list?
Where is Georgia on the list? It is discriminatory not to include Georgia in the ban. Surely, with its racist voting policies we would be included.
Is there a form to fill out to request that AG Bonta include your state on the list? Asking for a friend in New Hampshire.
It’s where they test The Liberal World Order
I doubt if many of those states are hankering to visit CA ...
Thats the last place Id have a conference etc ...
Hey Crapifornia, maybe YOU’RE the problem...
Would he please restrict moving companies from making deliveries to those states also. But wait till I get my stuff out of there also.
Also, as someone posted earlier. these states need to prohibit travel to CA for their state funded travel as in training seminars, etc. Have the seminars in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Taos, Salt Lake City.
Maybe this travel ban is a blessing in disguise for these states.
