requiring school districts to adopt policies establishing a cell phone-free education.

HB 781 requires all public school districts to create and implement policies that establish cell phone-free classrooms during instructional time. This directly affects school districts, administrators, teachers, and students by mandating rules to limit cell phone use during lessons. The key provision is a requirement for districts to develop specific policies, though the bill does not specify exact enforcement methods. The measure passed both legislative chambers in May 2025 but was vetoed by Governor Ayotte on July 7, 2025.
