Legislation Might Keep Calif. Kids Off Phones and Social Media at School

California lawmakers supported limiting smartphone and social media time at school in votes last week. The Assembly voted 69-0 on Thursday to approve AB-3216, which would require schools to adopt limits or bans on student use of smartphones. Meanwhile, the Senate voted 35-0 to pass SB-1283, which would require a similar policy for social media. Each bill will now go to the opposite chamber.
