Passed Second Reading as amended in HD 1 and referred to the committee(s) on JHA with Representative(s) Alcos, Garcia, Gedeon, Matsumoto voting aye with reservations; Representative(s) Pierick voting no (1) and Representative(s) Quinlan excused (1).
Summary
The bill changes Hawaii’s current law by allowing licensed counselors to offer conversion therapy to people 25 and older, while still forbidding the practice and any advertising of it for anyone under 25. It also says that simple talk therapy that uses only speech is not considered conversion therapy. The changes only take effect if the state attorney general certifies that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned a specific lower‑court decision.
