Limits digital instruction to 60 minutes per school day for students in kindergarten through grade 5, with exceptions for IEP-required technology, assistive devices, teacher-led demonstrations, state assessments, and dedicated computer science curriculum.

Requires school boards to adopt written technology use policies for grades K-5 that include daily digital instruction limits, lists of approved platforms and applications, and parental opt-out information.

Mandates school boards complete a technology adoption checklist before implementing or renewing one-to-one digital device programs, documenting consideration of instructional purpose, age appropriateness, content filtering, and student data practices.

Applies requirements equally to school districts, charter schools, and innovation school zones, but exempts students enrolled in online learning programs operating under section 256.43.

Requires districts to publish technology policies on elementary school websites and maintain adoption checklists for Department of Education audit or compliance review.
