Relating to unprofessional conduct by mental health providers who attempt to change the sexual orientation of a child.

This bill prohibits licensed mental health providers from attempting to change a child's sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. It applies to professionals like counselors, psychologists, social workers, and therapists treating minors under 18. The law defines "unprofessional conduct" as any effort to alter a child's sexual orientation, behavior, gender identity, or same-sex attractions. Violations would be addressed through professional licensing disciplinary actions under Texas law. The bill does not ban therapy for LGBTQ+ youth but specifically targets practices aimed at changing their core identity.
