The Phone-Free Schools Act, introduced by Assemblyman Josh Hoover, mandates California public schools formulate plans by July 2026 to limit or ban smartphone use during the school day.
The bill includes exceptions for medical or emergency situations, ensuring that students can still use their phones when necessary.
The Los Angeles Unified School District, the largest in the nation, has already initiated a phone ban, requiring implementation plans by January 2025.
If signed into law, California will join four other states in enforcing limits on smartphone use in schools, reflecting a growing trend towards minimizing distractions in education.
