Summary

The measure treats injuries from conversion therapy as a health‑care malpractice claim, removes caps on noneconomic damages and creates a private right to sue. It also prohibits licensed providers from performing conversion therapy or making false, misleading statements about it, and forces insurers to add a surcharge that funds a dedicated Conversion Therapy Surcharge Fund. The changes are intended to give survivors more time and resources to seek civil remedies.
