Bill Summary
MOTOR VEHICLES -- Amends existing law to prohibit local authorities from adopting ordinances that prohibit or restrict the use of handheld wireless devices and to provide for distracted driving.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law to prohibit local authorities from adopting ordinances that prohibit or restrict the use of handheld wireless devices while driving. It also redefines "distracted driving" to include activities not related to the actual operation of a moving or idling motor vehicle, such as using a handheld communication device, grooming, or consuming food. The bill makes distracted driving an infraction, but a conviction does not result in violation point counts or affect motor vehicle insurance rates.
