In a recent government meeting, the city of Lorraine took significant steps towards protecting minors by unanimously passing an ordinance that prohibits conversion therapy. Introduced by Councilwoman Springowski, the ordinance establishes Chapter 506 of the codified ordinances, specifically aimed at banning this controversial practice within the city. The council swiftly moved to suspend the three-reading rule, allowing for immediate action, with only one dissenting vote from Councilwoman Duvall.
The meeting also addressed the acceptance of the plat for Harborwalk subdivision number 19, introduced by Councilman Nutt. The council demonstrated a collaborative spirit as members supported the motion to proceed with the hearing on this subdivision.
These legislative actions reflect Lorraine's commitment to safeguarding the well-being of its youth and managing urban development effectively.
