The bill amends Section 1-126 of the Oklahoma Statutes to extend the prohibition on the use of cell phones and personal electronic devices in public school districts from "bell to bell" for all school years starting from 2025-2026 and thereafter. It removes previous language that allowed school district boards of education to adopt such a policy only for the 2025-2026 school year and gives them the authority to implement the prohibition for all subsequent years. The bill also clarifies the definition of personal electronic devices and specifies that school-issued or school-approved devices for classroom instruction are exempt from this prohibition.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the policy adopted by school districts must include disciplinary procedures for violations and may allow for exceptions, such as emergency use of devices or for students monitoring health issues. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
