Jenna Quinn Law

The Jenna Quinn Law (S.1147) creates federal grants to fund community-driven programs in schools and communities focused on preventing, recognizing, responding to, and reporting child sexual abuse among K-12 students. It directly affects teachers, school staff, students, parents, and community organizations by requiring grant recipients to provide age-appropriate prevention education for students and training for adults who work with children. Key provisions include 5-year grants for evidence-based initiatives, annual reporting on program outcomes, and mandatory federal evaluations to assess effectiveness and avoid duplication of existing programs. The law aims to strengthen prevention efforts through targeted training and community engagement without mandating specific curricula.
