This article uses Erin’s Law, a law establishing consistent teacher reporting practices for child abuse, to test the multiple streams framework (MSF) implementation hypothesis in a policy area where inconsistent state-level policies have been the norm. Findings indicate that Erin’s Law has a conditional impact on teacher reporting that are dependent on problems and politics streams. While the conditional relationship between the streams in affecting implementer behavior is consistent with previous tests of the MSF implementation hypothesis, findings indicate that this conditional relationship manifests differently when the intended goals of new policies are to establish a consistent norm for administrative behavior.

本文使用艾琳定律（该法建立了一致的教师报告虐待儿童行为的法律），在不一致的州一级政策已成为常态的政策领域中测试多流框架（MSF）实施假设。研究结果表明，艾琳定律对教师报告有条件性影响，这取决于问题和政治流。尽管影响实施者行为的信息流之间的条件关系与MSF实施假设的先前检验是一致的，但研究结果表明，当新政策的预期目标是为管理行为建立一致的规范时，这种条件关系表现出不同的表现。
