According to Interior Ministry State Secretary Bence Rétvári announced in a Facebook post that the government has put forward a draft regulation for public consultation regarding items that cannot be brought into schools or can only be brought in with restrictions.
The new law was adopted on Tuesday, with restrictions coming into force in Hungarian schools as of 1 September. The legislation has created a unified regulation regarding items that cannot be brought onto school premises and those that can be brought in but whose use is restricted. The range of items in question will be regulated by a subsequent decree, but the law primarily concerns smart devices and mobile phones.
