MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — There’s already a revision in the works for Wisconsin’s school cell phone law.
Representative Lindee Brill of Sheboygan Falls chairs the Speakers Task Force on Protecting Kids. She says proposals include a change to Wisconsin’s newly enacted law which allows school districts to restrict student cell phone use during the school day.
“This would actually say it should be bell-to-bell,” Brill said.
The task force has drafted ten bipartisan bills, including an app store accountability act, warning labels on explicit content and mental health warnings for social media.
“We know this is an overwhelming situation our children are in right now and our parents, so we are introducing on all ends to make sure that we are protecting the child in any way we can in Wisconsin,” Brill said.
The Task Force on Protecting Kids is one of several which have produced bills for legislative consideration during the rest of the current session.
