Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act of 2023

The Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 s 2176, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress aimed at preventing fraudulent practices in the field of therapy. The bill seeks to address the issue of so-called "conversion therapy," which is a widely discredited practice that claims to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity through therapy.

The bill specifically prohibits any person or entity from advertising, offering, or providing conversion therapy in exchange for monetary compensation. It also prohibits the use of any deceptive or misleading practices in the provision of therapy services related to sexual orientation or gender identity.

Additionally, the bill requires the Federal Trade Commission to enforce these provisions and investigate any complaints of violations. It also allows individuals who have been harmed by conversion therapy to seek civil remedies in court. Overall, the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act of 2023 aims to protect vulnerable individuals from harmful and fraudulent practices in the field of therapy, particularly those related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
