AB 235: Pupils: use of smartphones.

The bill aims to amend a law requiring school districts to develop and adopt policies limiting or prohibiting the use of smartphones by students while at school or under supervision. The policy must be a scheduled-based restriction policy or a full-day restriction policy. This would impose additional duties on local educational agencies, making it a state-mandated local program. The state would be required to reimburse local agencies and school districts for the costs mandated by the state if the commission on state mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
