Requires public school districts and charter schools to prevent student use of electronic personal communications devices during regularly scheduled instructional activities

HB 306 requires public school districts and charter schools to create written policies banning student use of phones or tablets during regular class time. The policies must include disciplinary steps for violations and allow exceptions for emergencies, teacher-directed instruction, or students needing devices under federal disability laws (IDEA, ADA, or Rehabilitation Act). Schools must post these policies online, and staff following the rules are protected from liability. This directly affects students' classroom behavior and school staff responsibilities.
