(Wisconsin Radio Network) There’s already a revision in the works for Wisconsin’s school cell phone law.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, 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.

Brill says a “bell-to-bell”  ban on student phone use has be adopted in other states and has bipartisan support. The task force has drafted ten bipartisan bills, including an ap store accountability act, warning labels on explicit content and mental health warnings for social media.

The Task Force on Protecting Kids is one of several which have produced bills for legislative consideration during the rest of the current session.
