[Entm-beu] Fw: [Concurtravelarrangers] SB 447 Ends AB 1887 State Funded Travel Prohibition

Mon Oct 2 11:32:29 PDT 2023

Good morning, Entomologists,

California is establishing the Building and Reinforcing Inclusive, Diverse, Gender-Supportive Equity Project (BRIDGE Project) to promote social equity, civil rights, and antidiscrimination through marketing and advertising campaigns. This is a replacement to the previous policy of not allowing state-funded travel to the many states in the country that maintain discriminatory laws.

To clarify, we can now travel to any state in the U.S. using state funds. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

 [cid:a4ab0b3b-46d6-4f3e-8f29-0788559915a0]
