Summary

The Youth Mental Health Protection Act would make it illegal for any licensed mental‑health professional to conduct conversion therapy on anyone under 18, and also bars them from referring a minor to anyone else for such services. It defines conversion therapy broadly and sets disciplinary steps for violations. The measure aims to protect children from practices that attempt to change sexual orientation or gender identity.
