The "Bell to Bell, No Cell Act" aims to amend public school discipline policies regarding the use of personal electronic devices by students. The act highlights the growing concerns over the impact of cell phone and social media usage on students' academic performance and mental health. It mandates that by the 2025-2026 school year, each public school district and open-enrollment public charter school must establish a written policy governing the possession and use of personal electronic devices during the school day. This policy must be submitted to the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education for review and approval.

Key provisions of the act include the requirement for schools to restrict the use of personal electronic devices during the school day, with specific exemptions for emergencies, health reasons, and certain educational needs. The act also stipulates that schools must publish their policies online before the school year begins and outlines penalties for non-compliance. Additionally, it clarifies that schools will not be liable for any personal electronic devices that are confiscated and subsequently lost, stolen, or damaged.
