本文使用艾琳定律（Erin's Law）（一项建立一致的教师虐待儿童报告实践的法律）来测试多流框架（MSF）在州级政策不一致已成为常态的政策领域的实施假设。研究结果表明，艾琳的法律有条件的影响，教师的报告是依赖于问题和政治流。虽然流之间的条件关系，影响执行者的行为是一致的，与以前的测试的无国界医生组织的实施假设，研究结果表明，这种条件关系表现不同时，新政策的预期目标是建立一个一致的规范管理行为。
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.
