From the State Journal:
Following roughly four hours of testimony Thursday, with the majority of those speaking in opposition to the use of conversion therapy, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules voted 6-4, along party lines, to strike the rule, which went into effect in December and defines intervention by a marriage and family therapist, counselor and social worker to try to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity as unprofessional conduct.
The Republican co-chairs of the committee said multiple times during Thursday's meeting that the discussion was not about the controversial and scientifically discredited practice of conversion therapy, but whether DSPS and the counselors examining board have the statutory power to implement the rule.
