AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2026, mandates that public school students from prekindergarten through fifth grade be limited to a maximum of one hour of screen time per school day, encompassing all subjects and activities involving electronic devices like computers, tablets, and smart devices. However, this limitation does not apply to students with special education needs documented in an individualized education program (IEP) or a 504 plan, nor does it apply to assistive or adaptive technology necessary for students to access educational content. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
