JOHNSON COUNTY — A member of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors says the board plans to put a “travel ban” on county travel to Indiana, and any state, that enacts a “religious freedom” law.

“We’re very supportive of inclusiveness,” said Johnson County Supervisor Janelle Rettig. “That’s how we want to invest our money.”
Rettig said the travel ban would mean county employees wouldn’t be permitted to travel to Indiana for official business, including conferences or other training sessions.

“We want our money spent in other places,” Rettig said.

I know of two states with a Johnson County (Missouri and Kansas) and I cannot figure out from the link if it's either of those two, or another state altogether.

There's also a Johnson County, Indiana. Are these guys banning travel within their own state?
