SACRAMENTO (AP) — In California's first legislative response to the Penn State sex abuse scandal, the state Assembly passed a bill Thursday that would require all higher education employees to report suspected instances of child sexual abuse. Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles, who authored the bill, said child sex abuse charges against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky showed the need for the legislation. AB1434 passed 69-0 and now moves to the Senate.
