Bill > S2647

This bill prohibits health care providers from engaging in or advertising "sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts" (also known as "conversion therapy") with patients under the age of 18. The bill defines "sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts" as any practice that attempts to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, and provides exceptions for practices that provide acceptance, support, and understanding. Violations of this law would subject health care providers to discipline by their licensing board, including potential suspension or revocation of their license, as well as liability under the state's consumer protection laws.
