Prohibiting certain licensed individuals from using conversion therapy on minors.

HB 2267 prohibits licensed health professionals in Kansas - including those regulated by the state board of healing arts, nursing boards, and behavioral sciences regulatory boards - from using conversion therapy on minors under 18 years old. The bill defines conversion therapy as any practice aiming to change a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity, while excluding gender transition support, affirming care, and identity exploration that doesn’t seek to alter orientation or identity. Violations would be treated as unprofessional conduct, subjecting offenders to disciplinary action by their regulatory board, and the law applies to telemedicine services. Religious leaders performing duties within their faith are exempt from these restrictions.
