Expands California's ban on conversion therapy by preventing licensed therapists from trying to change or influence a person's sexual orientation or gender identity toward a specific outcome. Therapists can still help patients explore their feelings and identity, as long as they are not pushing them in a particular direction. The bill also gives people who say they were harmed by these practices more time to sue and allows some older claims dating back to 2009 to be brought to court.
