Prohibits certain mental health professionals from engaging in conversion therapy with minors

HB 1091 prohibits licensed mental health professionals in Missouri from providing conversion therapy to minors. The bill adds this practice as a specific reason for the state licensing board to refuse or revoke a professional's license. Conversion therapy is defined as any treatment seeking to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity. This law directly affects psychologists, counselors, and other licensed mental health providers who work with minors in Missouri. The policy change takes effect by amending state licensing regulations to explicitly ban this practice.
