Travel Restriction on California State Funded Projects

Guidance

Effective January 1, 2017, State of California law AB 1887 prohibits state-funded travel to a state that has passed a law after June 26, 2015 that (1) authorizes discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, or (2) voids or repeals existing state or local protections against such discrimination. The law expressly identifies the University of California and the California State University as entities covered by the law.

AB 1887 provides a number of exceptions where state-funded travel will be allowed to states that are otherwise on the Attorney General’s list. For more information, see the Berkeley Travel website and AB 1887 Travel Prohibition to Certain States Using State Funding Source on the UCOP website.
