WASHINGTON — The House followed up on the sex abuse scandal involving sports doctor Larry Nassar by passing legislation Monday that requires governing bodies for amateur athletics to promptly report abuse claims to law enforcement. The House agreed to take up the Senate version of the bill to speed up its passage. The bill passed the House by a vote of 406-3. The failure to report a sexual abuse allegation could lead to up to one year in prison. Feinstein met last year with some of the gymnasts alleging sexual abuse.
