The proposed bill establishes "Erin's Law" in Kansas, mandating that school districts provide annual training for teachers and age-appropriate instruction for students on the identification and reporting of child sexual abuse and sexual assault. Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, each board of education is required to implement a training program for teachers that covers actions to prevent and report abuse, how to identify signs of abuse, and available resources. Additionally, students in kindergarten through 12th grade must receive instruction that includes age-appropriate content on awareness and prevention, actions to take if they experience or witness abuse, and a procedure for parents to opt their children out of such instruction.

The bill allows for the training and instruction to be developed or provided by child advocacy centers, the Erin's Law foundation curriculum, or other suitable resources as determined by the school district's board of education. This initiative aims to enhance awareness and prevention of child sexual abuse and ensure that both educators and students are equipped with the necessary knowledge and resources to address this critical issue.
