The Heads Up! Distraction-Free Learning Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance student learning by prohibiting the use of personal wireless communication devices, such as cell phones, gaming devices, and smart watches, during the school day. Local education agencies (LEAs) are required to adopt and implement this policy by 15 days before the start of the 2025-26 school year. The bill emphasizes the negative impact of non-academic device usage on student concentration and learning outcomes, as well as the potential mental health issues associated with social media use. It also highlights the importance of face-to-face interactions among students for healthy social development.

The legislation allows for certain exceptions, such as permitting educators to authorize device use for educational purposes or in emergencies related to health care. It mandates that students be provided with storage for their devices during school hours and requires LEAs to notify families about the policy. Additionally, the bill establishes a framework for monitoring compliance and assessing the policy's effectiveness, while ensuring that disciplinary actions for violations do not involve removing students from instructional time.
