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 bill defines "wireless electronic communication device" to include various electronic devices such as telephones and text-messaging devices that can be used for wireless communication. By August 1, 2025, each local school district is mandated to adopt a policy addressing student possession of these devices, which must be approved by the school district's board of trustees and included in the written student conduct standards.

The policy must, at a minimum, prohibit the use of wireless electronic communication devices in classrooms during academic instruction periods. If the policy allows for the confiscation of such devices, it must also ensure their return to students. The bill declares an emergency, indicating that it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
