The bill enacts several new sections of the Revised Code aimed at prohibiting licensed health care professionals from engaging in conversion therapy for minor patients. Specifically, it introduces sections 4723.95, 4731.45, 4732.34, 4743.11, 4757.46, and 4758.73, which outline the responsibilities of various state licensing boards, including the board of nursing, the state medical board, and the state board of psychology, to comply with the new regulations. The bill defines conversion therapy as practices aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity and specifies that such practices are not permitted when providing mental health treatment to minors.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that certain supportive practices, such as assisting a patient in transitioning or providing acceptance and understanding, are not considered conversion therapy and are therefore allowed. It also establishes that state licensing boards must impose sanctions, such as suspension or revocation of licenses, on health care professionals who fail to comply with these provisions. Overall, the legislation seeks to protect minors from harmful practices while ensuring that supportive mental health care remains available.
