On January 24, 2013, Gov. Pat Quinn signed a new law extending sexual abuse education in Illinois schools. The Illinois law went into effect immediately and schools have to implement Erin’s Law starting the 2013-2014 school year. Erin’s Law requires all schools to provide child sexual abuse prevention education for all students, K-12, yearly. The law requires educators to take part in training classes that cover sexual abuse and how to recognize warning signs.
