This bill, the Mental Health Protection Act, prohibits certain licensed mental health professionals, such as clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, and psychologists, from engaging in "conversion therapy" - practices that seek to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity - with individuals under the age of 18 or adults with disabilities.
