School boards; use of social media by schools, etc.

Added a new provision stating that the ban on social media does not prohibit the use of school division-approved communication or messaging applications, creating a specific exemption for approved tools.

Updated formatting in the bill header to reflect the 'Enrolled' status and the 2026 session, and adjusted section numbering references to use a consistent spacing style.

The bill title was expanded to mention artificial intelligence systems and civil penalties, indicating a broader scope in the final version than the text of the specific section provided.

All provisions requiring registration, fees, and civil penalties for artificial intelligence systems were removed.

The detailed definitions for artificial intelligence systems, algorithmic discrimination, and various data privacy terms were deleted.

Provisions limiting minors' social media use to one hour per day and restricting targeted advertising were removed.

The bill title and operative text were updated to reflect that it only amends the Code of Virginia by adding a single section prohibiting schools from using social media as the sole communication tool for extracurricular activities.

A new specific prohibition was retained and emphasized, banning school boards, employees, and volunteers from using social media as the only way to talk to students about extracurricular activities.
