Anti-LGBT hate laws are continuing to cost states money as well as drive away business.
California will no longer fund trips for government officials to states that passed anti-LGBT legislation any time after June 26, 2015, according to a law that went into effect January 1. Currently, Assembly Bill 1887 prohibits travel to Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee but the list will be ongoing.
“The law also requires the Attorney General to develop, maintain, and post on her Internet Web site a current list of states that are subject to the travel ban,” according to the bill’s text.
