Erin’s Law is named after a childhood sexual assault survivor, author,
speaker and activist Erin Merryn, who is the founder and President of
Erin’s Law, which is registered with the State of Illinois and the IRS
as a 501 (c)(4) non-profit social welfare organization.

After Erin introduced the legislation in her home state of Illinois,
the bill was named “Erin’s Law” after her by legislators and it has
caught on nationwide.

“Erin’s Law” requires that all public schools in each state implement a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program which teaches:

Students in grades PreK – 12th grade, age-appropriate techniques to recognize child sexual abuse and tell a trusted adult
School personnel all about child sexual abuse
Parents & guardians the warning signs of child sexual abuse,
plus needed assistance, referral or resource information to support
sexually abused children and their families
