H 229 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to provide for a wireless electronic communication devices policy.

Idaho's H 229 requires all public school districts to adopt a written policy by August 1, 2025, governing student use of wireless devices like cell phones and tablets. The policy must be approved by the school board, included in student conduct rules, and specifically prohibit device use during classroom instruction. It also mandates that if devices are confiscated, they must be returned to students. The bill directly affects Idaho's public school districts and their students, establishing a clear requirement for classroom device management.
