San Francisco votes to repeal a law that banned business with 30 conservative states that had laws on the books that restricted LGBTQ rights, abortion access and voting rights.
The boycott was amended in 2019 and 2021 to include other states that had enacted restrictive abortion and voting rights legislation.from the city administrator's office that found the law has been costly and ineffective, admitting that no targeted states"cited the City's travel and contract bans as motivation for reforming their laws."
"Since 12X became operative, the number of banned states has grown from 8 states in 2017 to 30 in 2022," the report read."This increase suggests that the City's threat of boycott may not serve as a compelling deterrent to states considering restrictive policies. Only 1 state has ever been removed from the list."

The report also found that the ban has spiked San Francisco’s contracting costs around 10-20 percent and that by repealing the contract ban, it could"likely increase competition, lower costs, and bring and resource savings to the City."
