Conversion Therapy - Prohibitions and Causes of Action

Summary

The bill treats psychological harm from conversion therapy as a cognizable medical‑malpractice injury, removes any cap on noneconomic damages, and gives individuals the right to sue the therapist, the therapist’s employer, or anyone who negligently hired them. It also requires liability insurers to add a surcharge for providers who offer conversion therapy, with the proceeds placed in a special fund to reimburse successful plaintiffs. The measure is intended to deter the practice and provide compensation to survivors.
