On Friday, Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that Missouri, Nebraska, and Wyoming would be added to the list of states where California restricts state-funded travel. The total number of states on the travel ban, which was instituted in 2016 after AB 1887 was signed into law, now stands at 26 after California recently added Georgia, Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana, and Utah.
“These new laws enacted by Missouri, Nebraska, and Wyoming aren’t just discriminatory, they constitute a clear case of government overreach — and it’s an alarming trend we’re witnessing across the country,” Bonta said in a statement….
The Attorney General’s Office offered a breakdown for each of the three states being added to the list:
Missouri
Missouri’s Legislature recently passed SB 39, a bill originating out of the state Senate that prohibits public school districts, including charter schools and public and private colleges and universities, from allowing transgender girls to compete in sports consistent with their gender identity, according to the AG’s Office. Missouri Gov. Michael Parson signed the bill into law on June 7. Parson also signed SB 49, which restricts gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth. Missouri’s travel ban will go into effect Aug. 28.
Nebraska
Nebraska’s “Let Them Grow Act,” which Gov. Jim Pillen signed into law on May 22, requires anyone who is 19 or younger to undergo “rigorous criteria” set by the state’s Chief Medical Officer before receiving gender-affirming care, according to the AG’s Office. The law also could put health care practitioners on the hook for providing such care, including by making them liable for attorneys’ fees. The law also will deny state funding to any entity found to be out of compliance. Nebraska’s travel ban will start Oct. 1.
Wyoming
A bill out of Wyoming’s state Senate—passed on March 17 and signed into law by Gov. Mark Gordon prohibits public schools, as well as private schools competing against public schools, from allowing transgender female students to participate in sports based on their gender identity, according to the AG’s Office. If the law is struck down, Gordon would have the option to convene an “activity eligibility commission” to create rules around transgender students playing sports. The law also allows students and parents to request administrative actions by the Wyoming Board of Education. Wyoming’s travel ban went into effect Friday.

that is good we don’t need state paid travel for politicians
The first step in secession is self-sufficiency
Three more states with badges of honor. And am I wrong or is this cretan protesting government overreach with more overreach? You sir, are an embarrassment. You strike me as a man who would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle.
I can add Missouri, Nebraska, and Wyoming to states where I would like to visit or live.
He hopes to carry Newsom’s plan to destroy Kalifornia.
Democrats are horrible.
Welcome to the club! It only gets better from here!
Does that mean UCLA and Cal and Cal State won’t be sending their D-1 NCAA teams to tournaments and games? Gonna bet they find work arounds. Put up or shut up, California. Gonna let the kids play?
How true, Mark.
When it comes to sports (college or pro) all of these travel bans disappear.
It’s about the dollars. Always about the dollars.
This is what a one-party state looks like. Pope Benedict’s warning about the ‘dictatorship of relativism’ may have seemed discordant, but as usual he was dead-on accurate. Wonder if Sacramento will get a thank-you note from Wyoming et al., “Thanks for staying out!”.
All those states have lower crime rates than California.
But they’ll still travel to states and cities that got burned down by Antifa and BLM arson, looting and riots. California is run by self-entitled, elitist, nincompoops.
California needs to repent before it’s too late.
