Signed by the President Pro Tempore
Summary
The law requires every public school and charter school in Indiana to create a written wireless communication device policy that generally bans device use during instructional time, but allows teacher‑approved educational use, emergencies, and health needs. It sets rules for which devices may be used, when school‑supplied devices become mandatory, and how audio‑recording tools can be used for note‑taking. Schools must publish the policy online and are granted limited civil immunity for good‑faith compliance.
