PREVENT Act Preventing Risk and Exploitation through Validated...
A bill to require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to maintain and expand a program on child sexual abuse prevention.
This bill, SB4888, aims to require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to maintain and expand its program focused on preventing child sexual abuse. By doing so, the bill seeks to enhance efforts to protect children and provide resources for prevention.
The bill would primarily affect the CDC and potentially various community organizations involved in child protection and education. By expanding the program, it could lead to more comprehensive strategies, training, and resources aimed at preventing child sexual abuse, thereby impacting those who work directly with children and their families.
As of June 24, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. This means that it is currently under review by this committee, which will likely conduct hearings and gather more information before deciding on its next steps.
