The Supreme Court's ruling on April 3, 2026, concerning gender and sexuality conversion therapy has significant implications for the medical landscape.
This decision could potentially restrict the authority of state medical boards, particularly in their regulation of care that involves speech.
As a result, medical professionals may need to reassess their compliance with state regulations, especially in areas related to mental health and therapy.
