- The legislation calls for all public schools to adopt a policy that restricts the use of cell phones by students, except under certain medical or special circumstances.
A bill aimed at restricting student cell phone use has passed the Mississippi Senate Education Committee.
Cell phone use was listed as a top source of distraction within classrooms.
Schools that fail to adopt such a policy by the January 1, 2026, deadline will lose a day’s worth of state funding for each day such a policy is not in effect.
The measure heads to the Senate floor for further debate and discussion.
