What does the bill do?
The bill defines 'conversion therapy' as diagnosis, assessment or treatment that attempts to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of a minor, and prohibits practitioners in the fields of health, mental health and education from performing or recommending such treatments. Anyone who violates this law will face criminal penalties (imprisonment of up to one year or a fine) and civil liability, including compensation of up to NIS 120,000 without the need to prove damage. The accompanying amendments constitute changes to the psychologists, social workers and physicians laws to include these offenses in professional disciplinary obligations.
