Acts of Assembly Chapter text (CHAP0338)

Apr 6, 2026

Summary

The law bars public elementary and secondary schools, their staff, and volunteers from using any social‑media platform as the only way to talk with students about after‑school clubs, sports, or other extracurricular programs. A division superintendent can grant a written exception when a specific objective cannot be met without such use, but must provide clear instructions and can revoke it at any time. The bill also updates state definitions for terms like artificial intelligence systems, algorithmic discrimination, and personal data.
