Introduced
by
To impose a $100 civil fine on a person who drives while using “an electronic device that has a screen and a keyboard” to send text messages, enter data or play a game. The violation would be a “secondary” one, meaning that a driver could not be stopped just for this, but if stopped for some other violation (or is in an accident) this one could be tacked on.
Referred to the Committee on Energy Policy and Public Utilities
