Impact analysis
The budget impact is likely small—mostly administrative enforcement rather than a big new program.
LGBTQ minors and their families gain protection from a harmful practice, with mental-health providers and schools getting clearer local standards.
Practitioners who offer conversion therapy would face new restrictions; otherwise, no broad group is harmed.
