A Florida lawmaker proposed allowing school districts across the state to place cameras and microphones in classrooms.

Republican Rep. Bob Rommel, who hails from Naples, on Dec. 28 introduced House Bill 1055, which would authorize “school districts to adopt a policy to install video cameras in public school classrooms” and allow certain teachers to be required to “wear a microphone.” The bill is listed on the Florida Senate website as still in the House.
