MA Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell submitted video testimony to the Joint Committee on Education in support of the STUDY Act, a bill that seeks to create a statewide phone-free policy in schools and sets sensible standards for social media companies when it comes to protecting our youth on their platforms. Teachers, school administrators, psychiatrists, mental health experts, parents and students were also among those who supported the bill through testimony before the Joint Committee on Education. “The use of cell phones in schools and the near-constant access to social media platforms are a major contributing factor to today’s youth mental health crisis. The STUDY Act addresses these concerns. By restricting access to cell phones during the school day and raising the bar for social media companies, we are taking bold steps to create learning environments free from distraction and a digital landscape that prioritizes the mental health and well-being of our youth.” – AG Campbell
