State-funded travel
Main article: California state-funded travel ban

Under Assembly Bill 1887, as of June 2021, California will not fund state employees' travel to 17 U.S. states that have discriminatory laws against LGBTQ people. Laws passed, signed and implemented allow this to be done within California back in 2016.[unreliable source?] In 2021 the US Supreme Court refused to hear a Texas challenge to AB 1887, with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting.

In September 2023, a bill passed both houses (Assembly vote 64-12 and Senate vote 31-6) of the California Legislature that formally repeals the 7 year old travel-ban legislation that at the time restricted travel to 26 US states. The Governor of California signed the bill on September 13, 2023, effective immediately as an emergency statute.
