This bill mandates that each public school district's school board in Nebraska develop and adopt a policy regarding the use of electronic communication devices by students. The policy must be established before the 2025-26 school year and should involve stakeholder participation to address the specific needs of students, parents, and educators. The policy will generally prohibit the use of electronic communication devices on school property or during school functions, with certain exceptions. These exceptions include situations where the use of such devices is required by a student's individualized education program, authorized by a teacher for educational purposes, necessary in emergencies, needed for health care management, or deemed appropriate by the school board or staff.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not permit the monitoring or accessing of information on personal electronic devices that are not owned or provided by the school district. The legislation is designed to ensure that schools can maintain a conducive learning environment while also accommodating necessary exceptions for students' needs. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval due to the declared emergency.
