California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Monday that California would restrict state-funded travel to Arkansas, Florida, Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia because of the “anti-LGBTQ+ legislation” recently enacted in these states, increasing the number of the targeted states to a total of 17.
“Assembly Bill 1887 is about aligning our dollars with our values,” Bonta said at a news conference. “When states discriminate against LGBTQ+ Americans, California law requires our office to take action.”
