Pennsylvania SB1014 mandates a bell-to-bell phone-free policy for students on school property.

Pennsylvania SB1014 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require school entities to adopt a policy prohibiting student mobile device use during school hours on school property. Exceptions allow use for health, academic, or instructional purposes. The policy must be posted online and include enforcement provisions. The Department of Education will report on the policy's impact on student discipline and mental health.
