Allows conversion therapy for minors in Michigan.
The bill amends the Mental Health Code to allow conversion therapy for minors. Conversion therapy is defined as any practice or treatment by a mental health professional that seeks to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity. The bill specifies that conversion therapy does not include counseling that provides acceptance, support, or understanding of an individual or facilitates coping, social support, or identity exploration and development. The changes apply to minors under the care of community mental health services programs.
