AI Summary
This bill prohibits healthcare professionals holding certain credentials from providing conversion therapy, defined as any practice or treatment that seeks to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, to anyone under the age of 19. Providing conversion therapy in violation of this law would constitute a deceptive trade practice. The bill also prohibits the use of state or local government funds for conducting, referring, or providing health insurance coverage for conversion therapy. Important terms include "conversion therapy" and "gender identity." The bill amends several existing laws, including the Uniform Credentialing Act, to incorporate these new provisions.
