From the bill

Quote:Exceptions
The Legislature created exceptions in AB 1887 that allow travel to banned states in certain circumstances. (Gov. Code, ยง 11139.8, subd. ©.) These exceptions only apply if travel to a subject state is "required." (Ibid.)

Specifically, AB 1887 does not apply to state travel that is required for any of the following purposes:

Enforcement of California law, including auditing and revenue collection.
Litigation.
To meet contractual obligations incurred before January 1, 2017.
To comply with requests by the federal government to appear before committees.
To participate in meetings or training required by a grant or required to maintain grant funding.
To complete job-required training necessary to maintain licensure or similar standards required for holding a position, in the event that comparable training cannot be obtained in California or a different state not subject to the travel prohibition.
For the protection of public health, welfare, or safety, as determined by the affected agency, department, board, authority, or commission, or by the affected legislative office.

So any games with a signed contract before Jan. 1 would be exempt from the bill. As for conference play, I'm no legal expert but if conference affiliation is considered a contract for this purpose, that would clear the way for UCLA and Cal to go to Washington and Washington State for PAC 12 games if Washington goes through with its bill.

It would put a crimp in future non-conference scheduling for sure, though I'm guessing with the exception of Kansas/North Carolina/Duke basketball, there won't be a lot of non-con games involving trips to the states in question.
