AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 2572 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by adding
Section 50 as follows:
(30 ILCS 105/50 new)
Sec. 50. Conversion therapy funds prohibited.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the
State shall not expend or invest any public funds in any
organization, nonprofit organization, religious organization,
or any other entity to be used for conversion therapy. Any
public funds owed by the State to an organization used for
conversion therapy as of the effective date of this amendatory

used or will be used for conversion therapy.
For purposes of this Section, "conversion therapy" means
any practices or treatments that seek to change an
individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including
efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions or to
eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings
toward individuals of the same gender. This does not include
counseling that provides assistance to a person undergoing
gender transition or other counseling or mental health
services relating to sexual orientation or gender identity,
including sexual orientation neutral interventions to prevent
or address unlawful conduct or unsafe sexual practices,
without seeking to change sexual orientation or gender
identity.".
