School Cellphone Bill on Its Way to Georgia Gov. Kemp
Description
The Georgia Senate passed a bill 54-2 on Tuesday that would require K-8 schools to have a policy on cellphone use. House Bill 340 bans electronic devices from "bell to bell," with some exceptions for students with learning disabilities or medical issues. School systems can decide how they want to store the devices, according to the bill. High schools are not addressed in the legislation, but it doesn't keep school districts from enacting cellphone policies for grades 9-12, Hilton said during a committee meeting.
