On July 15, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issued Executive Order 21-25 (full text) providing:
All state agencies must pursue opportunities and coordinate with each other to protect Minnesotans, particularly minors and vulnerable adults, from conversion therapy to the fullest extent of their authority.
The Executive Order then details administrative actions that are to be taken by various state departments and agencies to prevent mental health professionals from working to change individuals' sexual orientation or gender identity. AP reports on the governor's action. [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
