SB 1264 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO EDUCATION.

SB 1264 requires the Board of Education to create a policy banning student use of phones and related devices during school hours. This directly affects all public K-12 students and schools in the state. The key provision mandates the Board to adopt this policy, though it does not specify enforcement details or exceptions. The bill is currently in committee (referred to EDU, JDC) and has not yet become law. It focuses solely on establishing a statewide policy framework for device use during instructional time.
