Jenna Quinn Law

Bill 118 s 1147, also known as the Jenna Quinn Law, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of combating child sexual abuse. The bill is named after Jenna Quinn, a survivor of child sexual abuse who has become an advocate for victims and works to raise awareness about the issue.

The Jenna Quinn Law seeks to improve the prevention, detection, and response to child sexual abuse by implementing several key measures.

This program would provide training to educators, child care providers, and other professionals who work with children on how to recognize and respond to signs of abuse.

Additionally, the Jenna Quinn Law would require states to implement policies and procedures for reporting suspected cases of child sexual abuse. This would help ensure that cases are properly investigated and victims receive the support and services they need. The bill also includes provisions for increasing penalties for individuals convicted of child sexual abuse and for providing additional resources to law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute these crimes. Overall, the Jenna Quinn Law aims to strengthen efforts to prevent and address child sexual abuse in the United States. By raising awareness, providing training, and improving the response to cases of abuse, the bill seeks to protect children and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
