What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits certain mental health providers from engaging in conversion therapy with a minor. Conversion therapy is any practice that seeks to change an individual's gender expression, gender identity, or sexual orientation, but does not include counseling or therapy that provides acceptance, support, and understanding of the individual; counseling or therapy that facilitates an individual's coping, social support, and identity exploration and development; or, counseling for an individual seeking to transition from one gender to another. In addition, the bill specifies that a violation of the prohibition in the bill by a mental health provider is grounds for professional discipline by the appropriate credentialing board.
