Repeals and adds to existing law to prohibit persons from operating a motor vehicle while using a mobile electronic device.

The purpose of this bill is to set guidelines regarding the use of electronic devices while driving. After years of experience, it is apparent that electronic devices are highly distracting to drivers, who may be travelling as high as 80 miles per hour while holding a cell phone to an ear, viewing applications or covering both ears with headphones or ear pieces. Currently, there is no law at all that regulates use of such devices while driving, except for texting. This bill will make it a minor infraction to use electronic devices while operating a vehicle in motion.
