đź’¨ Abstract

Alabama's Senate passed a bill (30-2) to ban cellphones in K-12 public schools during instructional hours, with phones needing to be turned off and stored. The bill is now with Governor Kay Ivey. The move aligns with growing national concerns about distractions and mental health impacts from phones. Several other states have implemented similar bans. Senator Chris Elliott's amendment for parental communication was rejected.
