California lawmakers are looking to tackle how kids use technology instead of just taking it away. A new bill from Assemblymember Josh Hoover would require schools to teach digital wellness, covering things like screen habits, algorithms, and how social media affects behavior. Supporters say students need tools to manage tech, not just rules limiting it, as concerns grow about mental health. The bill is moving through the Legislature and, if it passes, schools could begin building out lessons by 2028.
