House Bill 220 - Bans Certain Types of Conversion Therapy
Ohio House Bill 220 would prohibit certain health care professionals, including physicians, psychologists and mental health counselors, from subjecting minors to conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is the forceful and disproven practice of seeking to change one's sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.
H.B. 220 has been introduced in the Ohio House by state Representative Mary Lightbody and is currently in the Ohio House Public Health Policy Committee. It has not yet had a hearing. Contact Committee Chair Rep. Scott Lipps and tell him to hold a hearing on the bill, and contact members of the committee and tell them to pass H.B. 220.
