The collection of practices known as conversion therapy were designed to attempt to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Lawrence City Commission and the Prairie Village City Council passed bans in 2021.
Legislation to codify a conversion therapy ban statewide has repeatedly failed to progress in the Kansas Legislature.
It also bars professionals from advertising or using the terms “conversion therapy, ex-gay therapy, sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts, or any substantially similar wording.”
