Story highlights The bill is being brought back up now because of Larry Nassar's sentencing

Nassar had pleaded guilty to seven counts of criminal sexual conduct

Washington (CNN) The House will take up a bill on Monday which, if implemented, will require that allegations and incidents of sexual abuse of minor and amateur athletes be reported to authorities.

The bill would create an organization within the US Olympic Committee that would be responsible for receiving and handling inquiries and reports about abuse, and making sure that allegations are promptly reported to law enforcement when necessary, or resolved internally.

The bill comes after the sentencing of Larry Nassar , once a world-renowned sports physician treating America's foremost women Olympic gymnasts.
