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 for educational purposes, necessary in emergencies, needed for health care management, or deemed appropriate by school officials.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not permit the monitoring or accessing of information on personal electronic devices not owned or provided by the school district. The legislation is designed to ensure that school policies are responsive to community needs while maintaining a safe and focused educational environment. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval due to the declaration of an emergency.
