A new state law will soon require school districts in California to create new rules restricting student smartphone use. 

新的州法律很快将要求加州学区制定新规则，限制学生使用智能手机。 

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law recently. The legislation makes California the latest state to try to reduce student phone access. Florida, Louisiana, Indiana, and several other states have also passed laws aimed at restricting student phone use at school. 

加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽瑟姆最近签署了该法律。该立法使加州成为最新一个试图减少学生使用手机的州。佛罗里达州、路易斯安那州、印第安纳州和其他几个州也通过了旨在限制学生在学校使用手机的法律。 

The legislation is aimed at reducing distractions in the classroom. It is also meant to address the mental health effects that social media can have on children. 

该立法旨在减少课堂上的干扰。它还旨在解决社交媒体对儿童心理健康的影响。

Newsom said in a statement, “This new law will help students focus on academics, social development, and the world in front of them, not their screens, when they’re in school." 

纽瑟姆在一份声明中表示，“这项新法律将帮助学生在学校时专注于学业、社会发展和面前的世界，而不是屏幕。” 

But some critics of such policies worry the rules will make it harder for students to seek help if there is an emergency. Critics also argue that decisions on phone bans should be made by school districts, and not state governments. 

但此类政策的一些批评者担心，这些规定将使学生在发生紧急情况时更难寻求帮助。批评者还认为，关于电话禁令的决定应该由学区而不是州政府做出。 

The law requires districts to pass rules by July 1, 2026. The rules should limit or ban students from using smartphones on school grounds or while students are under the supervision of school employees. 

该法律要求各学区在 2026 年 7 月 1 日之前通过规则。这些规则应限制或禁止学生在校园内或在学校工作人员的监督下使用智能手机。
