The Illinois Senate has passed legislation that outlaws cellphones in school classrooms. The measure would require schools to create a policy prohibiting the use of cellphones during instructional time and create guidelines on how to store cellphones when in a school building by the 2026-27 school year. Gov. JB Pritzker called for the ban in his State of the State address in February.
