INTERNAL BUSINESS

New Commissioner Introduction: L. Stambaugh did an introduction of the  
new HRC commissioner. The new commissioner provided the  
commission with a brief introduction of themselves and their background  
in Human Rights.

shared that she attended the Fair Housing Center of Southeast Michigan  
training. The training was in-person located outside of Ann Arbor. L.  
Stambaugh encouraged commissioners to attend the next training and  
provided the commission with a handout from the seminar.  
Conversion Therapy Discussion: L. Stambaugh reported that Colorado  
and Michigan among other states have blocked enforcement of laws  
prohibiting conversion therapy for minors in response to a US Supreme  
Court decision overturning a Colorado law that prohibited conversion  
therapy for minors. The Supreme court opinion did not bar treatment  
besides talk therapy so the Ann Arbor ordinance banning conversion  
therapy for minors remains in effect for any treatments not struck down by  
the Supreme Court.

complaint since the last meeting. Currently there are five complaints  
under review.
