## Summary

**Creates a federal ban on paid conversion therapy** that would bar practices aiming to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. The bill would also treat violations as unfair or deceptive acts and give the Federal Trade Commission, the Attorney General, and states tools to enforce the ban. - Families, youth, and LGBTQ+ people: Would prohibit any person who receives compensation from providing conversion therapy. The bill cites harms including depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, family rejection, and suicide. - Providers and advertisers: Would make it unlawful to provide conversion therapy, to advertise claims that it can change orientation or identity, or to knowingly assist such services when compensation is involved. The law excludes supportive counseling and transition-related care that do not seek to change identity. - Enforcement and states: Would treat violations as violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act so the FTC can enforce and issue regulations. The Attorney General could bring civil suits in federal court, and states could sue on behalf of their residents with notice to the FTC.
