What does Erin's Law do?
With respect to the renewal of a Standard Teaching Certificate, provides that continuing professional development activities may include participating in or presenting at in-service training programs on sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention.

Erin's Law final Task Force Report -

All it took was one night for my innocence to be stolen. From ages 6-8 1/2 and 11-13 two men molested and raped me. One a neighbor the other a family member. I wasn't telling because nobody had educated me to tell. The only message I was getting was from the men abusing me. These men told me they would come get me, they knew where I lived, no one would believe me, I had no proof, and I would destroy my family if I told our secret. There are children across this world being told the same thing I was told and I have now made it my mission to educate and empower every child with their voice through Erin's Law. A law I am determined to get passed in all 50 states. Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this page. Lots of information and videos on Erin's Law.

The mission of Erin's law is to get education in all 50 states on the prevention of sexual abuse by empowering children with their voice instead of allowing sex offenders to silence them.

Education Program requires age-appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention education in grades
Pre-kindergarten through 12
Effective immediately.
