The California legislature is considering a bill that would change the way sexual abuse allegations against health professionals would be reported.
It's about how fast they're reported to state regulators. Critics say right now medical personnel can keep working for years, even after multiple claims of sexual misconduct, as was the case with former USC gynecologist George Tyndall.
USC has denied it hid any claims. The bill would require facilities to report any claims within 15 days or face massive civil fines.
It's got the support of many patients who say they've been sex abuse victims, including from USC.
The bill would also give the state medical board the authority to suspend personnel from practice while an investigation is ongoing.
