Wisconsin Supreme Court Paves the Way for Conversion Therapy Ban

In a significant ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has cleared the path for the enactment of a statewide ban on conversion therapy, affirming that Governor Evers has the authority to implement this ban and reining in the legislative power previously held by the state legislature. The ruling has been hailed as a major victory for LGBTQ+ residents in Wisconsin, with advocates and lawmakers praising the decision as it dismantles previous obstacles created by the legislature. This landmark decision effectively confirms that the administrative rules regarding conversion therapy can move forward, marking an important step toward inclusivity and support for all citizens in the state. The court also addressed the power of legislative committees, curtailing their ability to pause or object to administrative rules, further emphasizing the separation of powers within the state government.
