LB140

Nebraska LB140 requires public school districts to adopt policies on student use of electronic communication devices.

Nebraska LB140 mandates that each public school district board adopt a policy on student use of electronic communication devices by the 2025-26 school year. The policy must allow use under specific circumstances, such as when required by a student's individualized education program, authorized by a teacher for educational purposes, or necessary for health care monitoring. The policy may also include discipline mechanisms to limit access to cell phones. The policy cannot prohibit use during emergencies or perceived threats of danger.
