Indiana HB1034 regulates student use of wireless communication devices in schools.

Indiana HB1034 amends the definition of "wireless communication device" to include various portable devices. It mandates that school corporations and charter schools adopt policies prohibiting students from using or possessing such devices during instructional time and the school day. Exceptions include use for educational purposes with teacher permission, emergencies, health care management, and specific medical or educational needs. Schools must implement either a no device policy or a secure storage policy.
