Travel Ban States (AB 1887)
On September 13, 2023, Governor Newsom signed SB 447, which repeals AB 1887, the travel ban. Effective immediately, state funds may be used for travel to all states. If the travel occurred prior to the repeal, non-state funds must be used for reimbursement, however, if the travel occurred September 14, 2023, or later, state funds may be used. For questions, please email travel@cpp.edu.
Assembly Bill No. 1887 is a California law that restricts state agencies from requiring employees to travel to any state that has enacted a law that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identify, or gender expression. The law also prohibits state-funded and state-sponsored travel to states on the list. The restrictions apply to all CSU employees, officers, or members, as well as non-employee travelers, including students.
Travelers are required to check the Office of Attorney General’s website for the list of affected states prior to initiating the travel approval process.
