Relating to: policies to prohibit the use of wireless communication devices during the school day in public schools.

Summary

The bill repeals the earlier rule that only covered instructional time and creates a new statewide requirement that every public school district adopt, by July 1 2027, a policy prohibiting students from using personal wireless devices—phones, tablets, laptops or gaming devices—during the school day. The policy must include limited exceptions for emergencies, health needs, individualized education plans, or teacher‑authorized classroom use, and schools must submit the policy to the Department of Justice’s Office of School Safety and give each student a copy annually. The measure seeks to reduce distractions and improve safety in schools.
