New York would suspend some state travel to states allowing discrimination

State agencies would review requests for publicly funded or sponsored travel to affected states and suspend that travel unless an exception applies. The rule covers agencies, departments, boards, divisions, authorities, and commissions, and travel to states meeting the bill's definition. Travel may continue if needed to enforce New York law, meet prior contract obligations, protect public health, welfare, or safety, or otherwise serve the state's interest. If enacted, the act would take effect immediately. A state would qualify based on a described law enacted after January 1, 2028.

The attorney general would maintain and post an up-to-date list of affected states. The list would cover states that enact laws after January 1, 2028, removing existing protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, or permitting or requiring such discrimination against same-sex couples or their families. If enacted, the act would take effect immediately; the list would cover qualifying laws enacted after January 1, 2028.
