AI Summary
This bill prohibits health care professionals from providing "conversion therapy" to minors in Arizona. Conversion therapy is defined as any practice that seeks to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.

It also clarifies that certain practices, such as those that are neutral regarding sexual orientation or gender identity or provide support and understanding, are not considered conversion therapy.
