Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title V of the Public Health Service Act to ensure protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth and their families.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive federal grant program to support the mental health and well-being of LGBTQ+ youth (including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, intersex, and Two Spirit individuals). The program, to be administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, will award grants to eligible entities to provide mental health services, including trauma-informed care, crisis intervention resources, and cultural competency training for caregivers. Grant recipients will be required to develop mental health resources, collect data on LGBTQ+ youth mental health, create school bullying prevention guidelines, integrate mental health services in schools, and establish patient navigation programs. Critically, the bill explicitly prohibits the use of grant funds for conversion therapy, which is defined as any practice attempting to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity. The bill also mandates a federal survey on psychological distress among LGBTQ+ youth, requires a comprehensive report on mental health services for LGBTQ+ youth in foster care, and includes strict confidentiality protections for survey participants. The legislation authorizes $20 million in funding annually from 2026 to 2030 to support these initiatives, with the overarching goal of improving mental health outcomes and support for LGBTQ+ youth.
