The New York state legislature voted Tuesday to ban conversion therapy, a debunked practice that attempts to change an individual's sexual orientation.

The measure, which prohibits the practice on minors, passed the state Senate by a vote of 57-4 and the Assembly by a vote of 134-3, according to NBC News.

The bill will head to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (D) desk and his signature would make New York the 15th state to ban the practice. The practice is also prohibited in Washington, D.C.

The bill's text states that efforts by a licensed mental health professional to change the sexual orientation of a minor will be considered "unprofessional conduct and shall subject the provider to discipline by the provider's licensing entity."

In a statement, state Senator Brad Hoylman (D), the Senate sponsor of the bill, said conversion therapy is "among the worst frauds in history."
