Bill > S2278

This bill, titled "Protects minors by prohibiting counseling attempts to change sexual orientation," aims to safeguard children by making it illegal for any person to engage in counseling or therapy with a minor that attempts to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. This practice, often referred to as "conversion therapy" or "reparative therapy," is a controversial approach that seeks to alter an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual, or from transgender to cisgender. The bill specifically targets these counseling attempts on minors, recognizing them as potentially harmful and unethical.
