宾州参议院47比3通过校园手机铃到铃禁令
宾夕法尼亚州参议院10月21日在州府 Harrisburg 以47比3通过参议院第1014号法案，要求全州学校禁止学生在整个上学日使用手机，即铃到铃禁令，法案现送交州长 Josh Shapiro 签署或否决。
法案要求每个公立学区、特许学校和网络特许学校、职业技术学校及私立学校在2027-28学年开始前制定政策，禁止学生在整个上学日使用手机，包括午餐、课间休息和课间过道时间。豁免情形包括：经医疗服务提供者记录的本人或直系亲属医疗需求、残疾计划要求的使用、英语学习者使用手机作翻译，以及经校长批准、由教师主导的有限课堂教学用途；校长也可批准一日例外，并须在事后五天内通知学区最高行政负责人。各校还须告知家长在校期间联系孩子的方式，并在政策上网公布后五个工作日内向州教育部证明。
众议院10月19日以141比62通过该法案，其中加入了众议员 Mandy Steele 提出法案的相关条款，参议院10月21日接受了众议院的修改。法案主要发起人、参议员 Devlin Robinson 表示，该法案确立了明确的全州标准，同时允许各学区决定最适合本社区的做法。共同发起人、参议员 Steve Santarsiero 表示，期待州长 Shapiro 将其签署成法。投反对票的三名参议员为 Dawn Keefer、James Malone 与 Katie Muth；其中 Malone 在发言中表示，其选区居民对全天禁令有顾虑，希望保留更多地方灵活性并强化紧急情况与特殊需求方面的例外。州长 Shapiro 当天在社交媒体上表示，他曾在预算演说中呼吁此事并多次敦促议会采取行动。法案尚未成为法律；按州宪法，法案正式呈交后，若州长在10天内既不签署也不否决，法案将自动成为法律。
Pennsylvania Senate Passes Bell-to-Bell School Cellphone Ban 47-3
The Pennsylvania Senate voted 47-3 in Harrisburg on October 21 to pass Senate Bill 1014, which would require schools across the state to bar students from using cellphones for the entire school day, a bell-to-bell ban. The bill now goes to Governor Josh Shapiro to sign or veto.
The bill requires every public school district, charter and cyber charter school, career and technical school and private school to adopt a policy by the start of the 2027-28 school year barring students from using phones for the whole school day, including lunch, recess and the time between classes. Exceptions include a medical condition documented by a provider, for the student or an immediate family member; use called for by a disability plan; translation while learning English; and a limited lesson run by a teacher with a principal's approval. Principals may also approve a one-day exception, with notice to the district's top administrator within five days afterward. Schools must also tell families how to reach their children during the day and show the state Department of Education within five business days that the policy is posted online.
The House passed the bill 141-62 on October 19 after adding provisions from a bill by Representative Mandy Steele, and the Senate accepted those changes on October 21. Prime sponsor Senator Devlin Robinson said the bill establishes a clear statewide standard while allowing school districts to decide what works best for their communities. Co-sponsor Senator Steve Santarsiero said he looks forward to seeing Governor Shapiro sign it into law. The three senators voting no were Dawn Keefer, James Malone and Katie Muth. Malone said on the Senate floor that people in his district have raised concerns about the all-day ban and urged more local flexibility and stronger exceptions for emergencies and special needs. Governor Shapiro said in a social media post the same day that he had called for the ban in his Budget Address and repeatedly urged the legislature to act. The bill is not law yet; under the state constitution, if the governor neither signs nor vetoes it within 10 days of its formal presentation, it becomes law without his signature.
