This bill amends the Revised School Code of Michigan by adding a new section, 1303a, which establishes policies regarding the use of wireless communications devices in schools for students in grades K to 12. Specifically, it mandates that school districts and public school academies implement a policy that prohibits students in grades K to 5 from possessing wireless communications devices on school grounds. For students in grades 6 and above, the policy restricts the use of such devices during instructional time, breaks, lunch, and recess, with the possibility for schools to impose additional restrictions.

Additionally, the bill defines "school grounds" as areas used for school purposes, excluding facilities primarily for adult education or college courses, and provides a definition for "wireless communications device." The bill also repeals section 1303 of the Revised School Code, which may have contained previous regulations regarding wireless device use in schools.
