Section 22-11E-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds the following: (1) Concussions
are one of the most commonly reported injuries in children and adolescents who participate
in sports and recreational activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates
that as many as 3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related concussions occur in the United

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
