The bill amends Chapter 1, Title 33 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 33-132A, which establishes requirements for local school districts regarding policies on wireless electronic communication devices. The term "wireless electronic communication device" is defined to include various electronic devices such as telephones and text-messaging devices that facilitate wireless communication. By August 1, 2025, each local school district is mandated to adopt a policy addressing the possession of these devices by students. This policy must be approved by the school district's board of trustees and included in the district's written student conduct standards.

The policy must, at a minimum, prohibit the use of wireless electronic communication devices in classrooms during academic instruction. If the policy allows for the confiscation of these devices, it must also ensure their return to students. The bill emphasizes the importance of regulating the use of such devices in educational settings to maintain a conducive learning environment. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
