Introduced Text

Ohio SB71 prohibits certain health care professionals from engaging in conversion therapy for minor patients.

Ohio SB71 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit specific licensed health care professionals from engaging in conversion therapy for minor patients. The bill defines conversion therapy as efforts to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. It allows for practices that do not seek to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, such as providing acceptance, support, and understanding. State licensing boards are required to impose sanctions, including suspension or revocation of licenses, for violations.
