State Rep. Greg Alexander, of Carsonville, is taking a stand to protect the welfare of children and families throughout Michigan by opposing proposed regulations that he considers burdensome.
House Bills 4616-17 and Senate Bills 348-49 aim to impose stricter rules on mental health professionals who provide clinical support beyond affirming an individual’s desired sexual orientation or gender identity, or simply endorsing social or medical transitions.
Alexander argues that these bills could lead to minors making life-altering decisions that will impact them long-term. He believes that parents, in conjunction with qualified professionals who work with families, are better equipped to make crucial decisions regarding a child’s development and future, as opposed to legislators in Lansing who may be influenced by radical political agendas.
The proposed legislation would encompass various mental health professionals, including physicians, psychologists, registered professional nurses, licensed social workers or counselors, and marriage or family therapists.
