Travel Ban - Assembly Bill No. 1887
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.
AB1887 Travel Bans were effective as of January 1, 2017, with additions to the list possible as needed.
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. The Legislature created exceptions in AB 1887 that allow travel to banned states in certain circumstances. If you have university business travel planned to one of these states, please contact the Travel Office at traveloffice@csusm.edu.
