Bill > HF2078

This bill amends existing Iowa laws related to the use of electronic communication devices while driving. It defines an "electronic communication device" as any device capable of sending, receiving, or reading electronic messages, excluding devices integrated into the vehicle. The bill prohibits the use of such devices while driving, except in hands-free mode or for specific purposes like reporting emergencies. It also establishes a scheduled fine of $30 for violations of this law. Additionally, the bill removes violations of the electronic device use law from being considered moving violations, which could impact driver's license points and insurance rates.
