ID H0062

Establishes the "Youth Mental Health Protection Act" declaring that being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender is part of the natural spectrum of human identity and not a disease or disorder.

Defines "conversion therapy" as practices seeking to change sexual orientation or gender identity, excluding counseling that supports gender transition or provides acceptance and identity exploration without seeking to change orientation or identity.

Prohibits licensed mental health professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and certified psychoanalysts) from engaging in conversion therapy with persons under 18 years of age or vulnerable adults; violations constitute unprofessional conduct subject to licensing discipline.

Bars all state funds, municipal funds, and funds from state agencies or political subdivisions from being expended on conversion therapy, referrals for conversion therapy, health benefits coverage for conversion therapy, or grants and contracts with entities that conduct or refer for conversion therapy.

Grants the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare concurrent authority to initiate enforcement proceedings and promulgate rules for violations.
