File Complaint About Conversion Therapy in Las Vegas

Civil Rights and Equity Nevada 3 Minutes Read · published February 08, 2026 Flag of Nevada

In Las Vegas, Nevada, individuals seeking to report conversion therapy or coercive sexual-orientation or gender-identity treatments should know where to file, which authorities enforce rules, and what remedies are available. This guide explains municipal and state complaint routes, likely enforcers, expected timeframes, and practical action steps so you can report conduct by licensed providers, unlicensed counselors, or organizations operating within Las Vegas city limits.

If the provider is licensed (medical, psychological, counseling), file with the relevant state licensing board and the Nevada Attorney General consumer office.

Penalties & Enforcement

Las Vegas does not publish a specific municipal ordinance on "conversion therapy" in the city code as a separate criminal or civil penalty at the municipal level; enforcement often depends on the provider's licensing status and applicable Nevada law or state rules. Remedies and penalties for conversion-therapy conduct are therefore typically pursued through state licensing boards, consumer protection channels, or civil courts. The official Nevada Attorney General consumer complaint process is a primary pathway for complaints about licensed and unlicensed providers in Nevada; file details and remedies are provided on that official page.File a complaint with the Nevada Attorney General[1]
