This bill, titled the "Prohibition of Medicaid Funding for Conversion Therapy Act," aims to prevent the use of federal Medicaid funds for conversion therapy. It amends Section 1902 of the Social Security Act to explicitly state that no payments may be made under the Medicaid program for conversion therapy furnished to individuals enrolled in the plan. This prohibition takes effect on the first day of the first quarter following the bill's enactment. The legislation provides a detailed definition of conversion therapy , specifying it as any compensated practice or treatment that seeks to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to alter behaviors, gender expressions, or reduce same-gender attractions. Crucially, it clarifies that this definition does not encompass practices that assist individuals undergoing a gender transition or provide acceptance, support, and understanding for identity exploration, provided these do not aim to change sexual orientation or gender identity. A conforming amendment also ensures that federal matching funds under Medicaid will not be provided for expenditures related to conversion therapy.
