Section 16-6B-11 Paperwork Reduction Committee. (a) The Legislature finds that the excessive
paperwork required of teachers and other public education employees hinders the prime responsibility

Committee is created. The membership of the committee shall...

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
