Section 16-40-9 Instruction for avoiding child sexual abuse. (a)(1) The Legislature
recognizes that Erin Merryn was raped and molested for six and a half years by a neighbor
and a family member. She began a crusade her senior year of high school in 2004 to end the
silence and shame around sexual abuse. Erin's Law has been adopted in a number of states to
help address the problem of child sexual abuse. (2) The intent of Erin's Law is to shatter
the silence and stigma around child sexual abuse, and to educate children and empower them
to recognize and to report abuse. (3) The Legislature finds that without a specific initiative
like Erin's Law, schools generally fail to give young students adequate awareness and a voice
in this issue. (b) The Governor's Task Force on Prevention of Sexual Abuse of Children created
under subsection (c) shall adopt guidelines for a child sexual abuse prevention instructional
program. The guidelines shall: (1) Educate children in grades pre-kindergarten...

Section 38-15-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that there is a substantial
need to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect by persons entrusted with their
physical custody, and from persons or organizations that advertise, hold themselves out, or
lead others to believe that they will provide them with health, therapeutic, rehabilitative,
or disciplinary services, and from persons employed or exercising authority over them, and
who they depend upon to provide the basic necessities of life. The Legislature further finds
that abuse and neglect often take the form of the withholding of the basic necessities of
life, including food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care through an affirmative act
or omission. It is the intent of the Legislature to implement a baseline of registration and
regulation requirements for religious, faith-based, or church nonprofit, other nonprofit,
and for profit affiliated youth residential facilities and institutions that have...
