Bill > H3793

This bill requires the hands-free use of mobile electronic devices while driving in Massachusetts. It defines "hands-free mode" as a mode of operation where the user only engages in voice communication without touching, holding, or manually manipulating the device. The bill also requires the registry of motor vehicles to include a field to indicate the race of individuals cited or issued warnings by police officers, and mandates the executive office of public safety and security to conduct a study on the impact of changes in traffic laws since 2009. The bill imposes fines for violations and provides exceptions for emergency situations and public safety personnel.
