In 2020, the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill that prohibits conversion therapy (§ 54.1-2409.5. Conversion therapy prohibited (virginia.gov)). Conversion therapy, shock therapy, and the use of graduate electronic decelerators are not specific to the practice of behavior analysis and are not being used by behavior analysts in Virginia. Rather than amending the behavior analysis regulations, these subjects would be better addressed through broader legislation similar to that used for the prohibition of conversion therapy, where other professions that include behavior modification within their scopes of practice are also covered (psychiatry, psychology, and others).
