Illinois Lawmaker Says Supreme Court Ruling Does Not Affect State Ban On Conversion Therapy

SPRINGFIELD – State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, says a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on conversion therapy does not directly impact Illinois’ ban on the practice. Cassidy sponsored the Illinois prohibition enacted in 2015. Attorney John Mauck said the high court’s ruling in Chiles v. Salazar aligns with a previous legal victory for Illinois pastors and protects licensed counselors from the Illinois ban on conversion therapy.
