Bill > HB242

This bill aims to revise the regulation of cell phones by prohibiting the use of interactive wireless communication devices, such as mobile or cellular phones, while operating a motor vehicle in a work zone. However, the bill provides exceptions for law enforcement, emergency reporting, hands-free devices, authorized personnel, and those waiting in line at a complete stop. Violations of this law would be subject to the penalties outlined in the existing statute 61-8-711. The bill also includes a definition of "hands-free interactive wireless communication device" and "interactive wireless communication device" to clarify the scope of the prohibition.
