SB198 — restrict the use of a cell phone by a student during the school day.
What changed between bill versions as it moved through the Legislature.
The amendment broadens the cell phone restriction from just "instructional time" to the entire "school day," making the policy apply throughout the day rather than only during classes. This strengthens the bill's intent to limit student cell phone use by extending the prohibition to lunch, passing periods, and other non-instructional parts of the school day.
