S. 3074 · 118th Congress
Eyes on the Board Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Eyes on the Board Act of 2023
This bill requires schools receiving specified federal funding for internet connectivity to limit students’ screen time and access to social media platforms on subsidized devices and networks.
Specifically, schools receiving funding through the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support (E-Rate) program or the Emergency Connectivity Fund may not allow students to access social media platforms on subsidized devices or networks. Such schools must also implement policies that specify permitted device usage and screen time by grade. Schools must submit copies of their internet safety and screen time policies to the Federal Communications Commission, and the commission must make those policies publicly available in a database.
Under the bill, social media platforms are defined as online platforms that primarily provide a forum for users to generate and share content.
