This legislative proposal directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Director of the Department of Defense Education Activity, to establish regulations within 30 days of enactment. These regulations will prohibit the use of smartphones by students during the school day in all schools operated by the Activity. The bill specifies that any smartphones brought to school by students must be placed in designated storage, such as phone lockers or approved pouches, for the entire duration of the school day. However, it also mandates that appropriate exceptions be made to allow smartphone use for medical or other high-priority reasons , including during emergencies, ensuring student safety and well-being are considered.
