California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced a ban on state-funded travel to South Carolina, citing a 'discriminatory' foster agency law.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra on Tuesday announced a ban on state-funded travel to South Carolina, citing a measure on the books that enables faith-based foster agencies to"discriminate" against gays and others.
Becerra said the ban becomes effective April 15 and will prohibit state-funded and state-sponsored travel to South Carolina. Becerra's office pointed out a California law that went into effect in 2017, Assembly Bill 1887, prohibits state-funded or state-sponsored travel to states that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Nine other states were previously subject to California's travel ban: Alabama, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas.
