| Description | In June 2025, the Columbia City Council, following threats that the city would not receive state funding if its ban remained in place, voted 4-3 to repeal the ordinance. However, the repeal required a second reading, which took place on June 24th. The council once again voted 4-3, fully repealing the city’s ban on conversion therapy. |
