AB 1887 bans non-essential, state-funded travel by California state employees to North Carolina, Mississippi and other states that enact discriminatory laws after June, 2015. It is similar to executive orders and local ordinances already in place in New York State, Baltimore, San Francisco and elsewhere. However, it expands on these executive orders because it applies to states that enact new anti-LGBT laws in the future. “This new law will put the force of the world’s sixth largest economy behind a strong message that bigotry against LGBT people is costly,” said Rick Zbur, executive director of Equality California. “It provides a strong disincentive to states that may be considering adopting anti-LGBT laws similar to North Carolina’s HB 2.” Governor Signs California “All-Gender” Restroom Bill Jerry Brown has signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1732, establishing the nation’s most progressive restroom access law, requiring that single-occupancy restrooms in California businesses, government buildings, and places of public accommodation be universally accessible to all genders. The bill was authored by Asm. Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) and sponsored by Equality California, the Transgender Law Center and California National Organization of Women (NOW). AB 1732 “California is charting a new course for equality,” said Ting. “Restricting access to single- user restrooms by gender defies common sense and disproportionately burdens the LGBT community, women, and parents or caretakers of dependents of the opposite gender. Bathroom access is a biological need. This law will ensure more safety, fairness, and convenience access for everyone.” AB 1732 takes effect March 1, 2017.
