State-level legislation

As of May 2020, bills to ban conversion therapy on minors have been introduced or are pending in the legislatures of Georgia,[263] Kentucky,[264] Michigan,[265][266] Minnesota,[267][268] Nebraska,[269] North Carolina,[270][271] Ohio,[272][273] Oklahoma,[274] and Pennsylvania,[275]

Federal legislation

The Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act, which would ban conversion therapy nationwide, has been introduced in the 114th United States Congress and the 115th United States Congress by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), who had authored the California bill while state senator.[278][279]

Failed legislation

Minnesota

On April 25, 2019, the Minnesota House of Representatives voted to incorporate HF 12, which would ban conversion therapy on minors, into the omnibus health and human services finance bill HF 2414 by a vote of 72–53.[a][281][282] On April 30, 2019, the Minnesota Senate voted to strike the section by a vote of 34–30.[283][b] The original bill, HF 12, remains active in the Minnesota Legislature.

Organizations such as GLAAD and Human Rights Campaign have acknowledged that several other psychiatric and psychological organizations in the United States have rejected the practice of conversion therapy as well.[285][286]
