    Councilmember Todd Gloria requests that the Mayor and Council President issue an administrative order banning city-funded travel to Indiana. Indiana's new Religious Freedom Restoration Act could legalize discrimination against LGBT individuals by allowing businesses to cite religious beliefs as a defense for denying services. Other cities like San Francisco and Seattle, and the state of Connecticut, have enacted similar bans in response to the new discriminatory law in Indiana. The proposed ban would show San Diego's leadership in standing against such practices until Indiana amends or repeals the law.

    COUNCILMEMBER TODD GLORIA

    CITY OF SAN DIEGO


    MEMORANDUM
    DATE:

    March 30, 2015

    TO:

    Honorable Mayor Kevin Faulconer


    Honorable Council President Sherri Lightner

    FROM:

    Councilmember Todd Gloria

    SUBJECT:

    Ban on City-Funded Travel to Indiana

    On March 26, 2015 Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration
    Act that could legalize discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.
    This legislation would allow any individual or corporation to cite its religious beliefs as a defense
    when they have denied services to someone based on sexual orientation or gender identity and
    are sued by a private party.
    Other municipalities such as San Francisco and Seattle have enacted bans that prohibit public
    funds from being used for travel to Indiana. Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy has banned
    employees on state business from traveling to Indiana due to this new legislation as well.
    San Diego should join these other jurisdictions that have demonstrated their leadership for
    equality and let it be known that San Diego will rise up against these discriminatory practices
    taking place in our nation.
    I request that you issue an Administrative Order that prohibits City of San Diego employees
    from using public funds for travel to the state of Indiana until this discriminatory law is amended
    or repealed.
