Mental health: children; conversion therapy; allow. Amends sec. 100a of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1100a).

HB 4776 amends Michigan's Mental Health Code to ban conversion therapy for minors. The bill prohibits mental health professionals from attempting to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity through therapy. It explicitly excludes supportive counseling for gender transition, identity exploration, or addressing unsafe behaviors, as long as the therapy doesn't seek to alter sexual orientation or gender identity. This change affects minors receiving mental health services and the mental health professionals providing care in Michigan.
