ND HB1430

Defines "conversion therapy" as any treatment aimed at changing an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including medication, psychotherapy, electroshock therapy, and aversion therapy

Establishes that conducting conversion therapy is an ethical violation for licensed social workers in North Dakota

Permits licensed clinical social workers to counsel individuals questioning their sexuality or gender who wish to align with their personal or spiritual beliefs, without it constituting an ethical violation

Requires licensees engaging in such counseling to ensure treatment aligns with the individual's self-determination, disclose the nature of the treatment, and obtain authorization from the individual or their parent/guardian
