Bill > H579

This bill aims to protect student privacy by regulating how schools and third parties can access data on students' personal devices. It allows schools to limit or prohibit the possession or use of certain personal devices, but searching a student's device requires either reasonable suspicion of a code of conduct violation (with restrictions) or a valid warrant. The bill also prohibits the use of any improperly obtained evidence in any legal or disciplinary proceeding. Overall, the bill seeks to balance school discretion with student privacy rights when it comes to the use of personal technology on school property.
