As students start school this year, 17 states and the District of Columbia are imposing new cellphone restrictions. In total, 35 states have passed laws or rules to limit student phone use in schools, with 29 states taking action this year. The movement has gained bipartisan support due to concerns about phones affecting mental health and learning. Some states have enacted full-day bans, while others restrict phone use during class.

Researchers say that it’s too soon yet to determine whether phone restrictions will bring all the benefits that supporters seek.
