Columbia City Council members will vote on a resolution at their regular meeting Monday night deciding whether to support a Missouri bill that would ban “conversion therapy.”

The resolution would express “support for HB 516 to prohibit mental health professionals from engaging in conversion therapy with a person under the age of 18,” according to the resolution in the council’s agenda.

Mayor Brian Treece asked for a resolution to be prepared that would support Missouri House Bill 516 at a previous council meeting on Feb. 4, according to a memo on the agenda.
