The subject of the bill as introduced read as "Crimes; possession of cell phones by persons under 21 years of age prohibited ".

According to the bill put forth, "internet and social media, accessed primarily through cell phones, are used to radicalize and recruit terrorists, fascists, and other extremists".

The bill declared that "persons under 21 years of age are not developmentally mature enough to safely possess them, just as the General Assembly has concluded that persons under 21 years of age are not mature enough to possess firearms, smoke cigarettes, or consume alcohol.”

According to sources, Senator John Rodgers is a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment which permits citizens to bear arms. He also believes that the cellphone is a far greater 'weapon' which 'fascists and terrorists' can use to 'radicalise the youth'.
